by James Clear

To improve the process, Brailsford began by looking into small and overlooked areas which can cause impact in performance. He began by - 

• Redesigning bike seats for better comfort.
• Used rubbed alcohol tires for better grip.
• Redesigned outfit which used fabrics that provided better comfort and offered better aerodynamics.
• Asked riders to wear electrically heated shorts to maintain ideal muscle temperature.

After incorporating these small changes and several others, soon in 2008 just after 5 years, britain dominated in the 2008 olympics.

Improving 1% everyday may not be a notable differnce. It's like noticing fitness in a unfit body with just 1 day of a work out. But when these 1% improvement is done every single day, then in the long run we can easily observe major difference.

Author explained how getting 1% better for over a 1 year period can make us ~38% better than what we was before and similary explained that getting 1% worse everyday for a 1 year duration can easily reduce us to 0.03% of what we began with. Therefore, forming good habits and repeating it, with as minimum as 1% everyday can provide us guranteed improvement in the long run in whatever we do. 

If we want to predict where we will end up in 20 years down in our life, all we need to do is follow the tiny gains and losses curve we draw everyday as we progress in life. If we form good habits and be consistent with them by repeating it everyday, we can easily predict how we will be in the future.

Time Magnifies the margin between success and failure. It multiplies whatever we feed it. Good habits makes time our ally and bad habits makes it our enemy.
