**Slow burns are easier, more sustainable, and can produce better results.**
Heavy Lifts and Slow Burns are two ways to approach large Projects/goals.
**Heavy Lifts** are done essentially all at once. You knock the thing out, through great effort. They are fast, but strenuous.
**Slow Burns** are done incrementally over time. Slow burns are sustainable in the long run. They don't wear you out, at the expense of producing results more slowly. Slow burns utilize the [[Sweet Spot 🎯]]. [[Small but Consistent beats Big but Sporadic]].
# Examples
