How You Do Anything is How You Do Everything

I’ve read hundreds if not thousands of personal development maxims, aphorisms, quotes, and platitudes.

The common thing among them is that they are not absolutely true. One can almost always find caveats and exceptions to the maxim. Of course, each maxim is often very valuable, even if not absolutely true, when you interpret it charitably.

But there’s one maxim that I’ve found to be closest to absolutely true.

How you do anything is how you do everything.

I’ve been playing with this one for years, and it seems to be the purist maxim of them all.
