Habits are the Compound Interest of Self Improvement

The progress we experience from the compounding effect of any habit isn’t immediately visible. As a result, people give up quickly. 

They don’t realize that every day they show up they’re building momentum. They are moving closer and closer to a breakthrough or inflection point.

We usually make effort unsustainable. For example:

• We work out like crazy for a few days (usually at the beginning of the year) and never go back to the gym.
• We try to meditate for 30 mins one day and don’t give it another shot until 10 days later

But when it comes to developing and maintaining a new habit, frequency matters more than intensity.
