When my sister says it to me I know it's not all good and nowhere near good.

I know the feeling, have a friend just like that 😂

I encourage people to make small changes, start with the smallest thing and then the next and so on

Yes, I've found this to be really effective for me. There is a book called "2 Second Lean" that talks all about this. The company requires every employee to make one improvement every day that saves 2 seconds or more. It's super fascinating if you look up FastCap or Paul Akers on YouTube they have a bunch of videos showing improvements.

Anyway, I try to do this for myself at work and home. I don't do it every day, but I have made so many small improvements that compound to make a huge improvement in my life and work.
