You don't have a discipline problem. You don't have a motivation problem. You don't have a “too much on my plate” problem. You have a dose problem.

You don't need a different life. You need a different mindset, and a next step.

Sprinkle It™ is a warm, practical, often funny guide to changing your life a little at a time. Sixteen short chapters cover all of it: your body, your rest, your home, your money, your people, your heart and soul. Each one ends with a single small step you can take today.

One can't start.

Stuck.

You've started over more times than you can count. New plan, new planner, new Monday. Then life did what life does, and you quietly filed the whole plan under “maybe after the holidays.”

You don't need a plan. You need one step.

The other can't stop.

Too busy to breathe.

You get everything done. Everybody knows you get things done. And somehow the sleep, the friends, and the thing you used to love are running on fumes.

You don't need more. You need one step that's yours.

Different problems.Same way out.

Sixteen chapters. Sixteen small steps. Every corner of your life.

Short chapters you can read in one sitting, each one ending with a short set of exercises: small, concrete things you can do before you put the book down. Not homework. Just one small thing to sprinkle into your day.

About the author

Charissa Coate

“Small things add up to big things.”

Charissa Coate is a mom, a grandmother, and a lifelong list person. For the last twenty years she has managed multi-million-dollar project budgets for a living. For fun, she spends a lot of time on the water, and she has run marathons and Spartan races, and is known for doing endless DIY home renovations. Somewhere along the way she figured out that the answer was never more willpower. It was a smaller dose. She has been both readers this book is for: the one who was too busy to breathe and the one who had trouble regaining momentum.

Sprinkle It started as an idea that woke her at 2 a.m. She wrote much of it out on the lake behind her home. One of her favorite mottos is to leave every person, place, and thing better than you found them.

Where it was written

Written out on the water.

Most of Sprinkle It was written right here, on the lake behind her home. Laptop open, feet up, sprinkling it one day at a time.

The Sprinkle It Map

Little cards are turning up around the world. Help us Sprinkle It all over the world!

Little Sprinkle It cards are turning up on restaurant tables and coffee-shop counters, in airports and hotel lobbies, tucked inside Little Free Libraries. Each one is left on purpose, hoping to find the right person on the right day. When someone finds a card and scans it, their state or country lights up here: one more small, good thing, passed along.

Join the Sprinkle It Squad and help sprinkle the cards. Share your drops with #SprinkleItSquad.

Sprinkle It sightings

Small, good things, spotted in the wild.

A card tucked beside an airport gate. A coffee paid forward. A note for a neighbor who needed it. When you sprinkle a little kindness into the world, share it, and Charissa will add her favorites here.
