Making tiny improvements by 1% each day isn't noticeable. But 1% improvement each day or a tiny improvement over time is astounding and can be far more meaningful, especially in long run.
The 1% errors are when you replicate poor decisions, duplicate tiny mistakes, rationalize little excuses- many missteps decline 1%.
You get what you repeat. Focusing on improving 1% each day will give you a better outcome.

Goals are results you want to achieve. The system is a process that leads to those results. Goals are good for setting direction, but systems are best for making progress.
To see the progress of an outcome you are left chasing, you need to change the system behind it. You fix inputs and the outputs will fix themselves.

If you are having trouble changing your habits then the problem is your system, not you. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again because you have the wrong system for change.
Take an example: You have a messy room and you set a goal to clean it, you did it and now you have a clean room for now. But what if you maintain your room do not repeat habits that led to a messy room? You won't be hoping for another burst of motivation to clean.
