"Death By A Thousand Cuts"

The principle that small, "harmless" things/events/people/actions have a cumulative effect that will ultimately destroy you

In Productivity:
Having 15 tabs open at the same time, checking social media 50x a day, checking your phone every 3 minutes
In Fitness:
Eating little snacks, sweets, sugary drinks, booze and a half dozen key bumps because "I don't do it all the time"

In Relationship:
Giving your girl "a little cash here and there" to spend on shoes, hair, cell phone cases, Kylie Jenner lip gloss and scratch tickets
There are more, but the point is that you probably need to watch out for the Small things more than the Big things in life

Big things may be unavoidable

Small things ruin you after REPEATED exposure on a LONG timeline (like the bad habits you've had for many years)
