What are some tiny habits that you have implemented in your life that made a big difference?

For me personally:

1. doing 20 push-ups while I wait for my coconut milk to get warm for my morning drink and

2. cleaning the toilet while I wait for the shower water to get warm

have been two tiny changes I have made recently that not only made me very happy, but made me fitter and eliminated the dread of cleaning the toilet!
