As we start off this new year, it’s natural to think about making significant changes or setting big goals for ourselves. But for me, I’m finding that I’m feeling a little hesitant about making too many sweeping changes all at once.

In DevOps in general we think about iterating and cycling through small changes towards a larger sense of transformation. I think it’s important to remember that every day is a chance to make small changes, and that it’s okay to take things one step at a time. After all, it’s the little things that add up to make a big difference in the long run.

So while I’m not opposed to making changes or setting goals, I’m trying to approach things with a sense of balance and self-care. After all, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
