Massive change doesn’t start with grand gestures—it begins with one simple step. Just like the James Webb Telescope revolutionized our understanding of the universe, a single shift in your daily life can unlock doors you never imagined. The key isn’t to change everything at once, but to take that one step that creates momentum. What will yours be?

One Change, Many Great Discoveries – Life Stories 262

Sometimes it’s the smallest movements that have the biggest impact. The same goes for making changes in our lives. At first, change can feel daunting, exhausting, and like way too much work. You might feel overwhelmed by all the areas of your life that need attention—your finances, your energy levels, managing stress, finding time for yourself. But what if we told you that making just one change could create a ripple effect that improves all of these areas? What if you could manage your time better, feel more energized, and reduce your stress—all by doing one simple thing?

Here’s the deal: after combing through research, we found that many experts talk about change in vague terms. They tell us to “change our mindset,” or “shift our outlook,” but often, that advice is too abstract. Yes, we know we need to change, but how exactly do we go about it? What practical step can we take? Today, we’re not going to leave you in the clouds with philosophical ideas—we’re going to give you one concrete change you can make that will improve multiple areas of your life.

Before we dive into that, though, let’s take a detour. Have you heard of the James Webb Space Telescope? You’ve probably heard about its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched into orbit in 1990. Hubble provided us with some of the most profound discoveries in modern astronomy—it helped us understand the age of the universe, the rate of its expansion, and provided evidence for the existence of black holes. We thought Hubble was the pinnacle of discovery. And then came the James Webb Telescope.

Launched in December 2021, the James Webb Telescope redefined our expectations in just a few short months. One change—one new tool—and the entire universe unfolded before us in ways we had never imagined. For example, it found a galaxy dating back 13.5 billion years, just 300 million years after the Big Bang, making it the oldest galaxy we’ve ever discovered. And that’s just scratching the surface. The telescope revealed that distant galaxies have irregular shapes compared to those closer to us, and we now believe there are up to ten times as many disk-shaped galaxies as we previously thought.

This is just the beginning. With the James Webb Telescope, we’re literally looking back in time—13 billion years into the past—and gaining insights we never had before. One change, and suddenly we’re rethinking everything we thought we knew about the universe.

Now, think about your own life. One change, when done right, can completely alter your path. It doesn’t have to be as monumental as launching a telescope into space—it can be something much simpler. And the change we’ve found that can have this far-reaching impact in your life? It’s something as straightforward as meal planning and prepping.

Dedicating just one or two hours a week to plan and prepare your meals can save you an incredible amount of time, energy, and money. Let’s break it down: most people spend 30 minutes to two hours in the kitchen every day preparing meals. Over a week, that’s a lot of time you could be saving with a little batch cooking. Imagine getting back 10 hours of your week just by preparing everything in advance. And it doesn’t stop there—you’ll also save money. No more impulse buys, no more splurging on takeout because you’re too tired to cook. When you plan and buy in bulk, you pay less and make healthier choices.

It’s not just about the time and money, either. Meal prepping frees up mental space. Research shows that we spend an average of 40 minutes a day thinking about what we’re going to eat. That’s 40 minutes every single day, lost to decision fatigue. When your meals are planned and prepped, that’s one less thing to worry about. You can use those 40 minutes for something that matters—whether it’s working on a passion project, spending time with your family, or simply taking a well-earned break.

And let’s not forget the environment. By planning your meals, you’re buying only what you need, reducing food waste, and contributing less to the massive problem of unnecessary waste we face today. Plus, you’ll be eating healthier—without the pressure of cooking while hungry, you’ll make better, more nutritious decisions.

It may sound too simple, but the results speak for themselves. If big changes feel overwhelming, start with this one small step. Set aside three hours on a Sunday (or whichever day works for you), plan your meals, do your grocery shopping, and batch cook. Pack your meals for the week, and then sit back and enjoy the rest of your time. There will be one less stress on your plate (pun intended).

One small change—many great discoveries. Just like the James Webb Telescope reshaped our understanding of the universe, a small shift in how you organize your time and meals can reshape your life in ways you never imagined. So, what do you say?
