When it rains it pours — but it can go the other way too. A small win creates the conditions for another, and another, until momentum that started almost imperceptibly becomes real. The trouble is most of us are so wired to notice what's going wrong that we dismiss what's going right as too small to count.

In this episode of 3-Minute Reframe, Cameron connects poet Samuel Green's idea of "small noticings" to Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer's landmark Progress Principle research — which analyzed nearly 12,000 diary entries to discover that small, forward momentum on meaningful work is the single greatest driver of inner work life.
