Never underestimate the power of persistent baby steps.

According to James Clear, an expert on continuous improvement, and the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, ‘Atomic Habits,’

you can become 37.78 times better in 365 days by improving just 1% every day.

Let’s do some algebra and see how it works:

Day 1: 1 + (1 x 1%) = 1.01
Day 2: 1.01 + (1.01 x 1%) = 1.02
Day 3: 1.02 + (1.02 x 1%) = 1.03

Day 365: 37.41 + (37.41 x 1%) = 37.78

Mind-blowing, isn’t it?

On the contrary, if you worsen by 1% daily, the accumulated value will drop from 1 to 0.03 after one year.

Delay no more. Move your butt and start taking action today!
