This is why you need to focus on local change as the goal. By local I mean right there and then. You pick up some trash or you prevent your own from going on the ground, the change is right there in front of you: that section of ground, at that time, is clean.

If you do the small things with big changes in mind as the reason, it’s a recipe for exactly the kind of burnout you’re referring to.

There is change. It’s just small. But it’s 100% real and right there in front of you and it reliably follows from your action.
