James Clear argues habits are the compound interest of self-improvement: 1% better daily adds up to 37 times better in a year. Start absurdly small (one push-up, one page, one minute) so you can't fail. Track what you do, because what gets measured gets improved.

Today we're diving into Atomic Habits by James Clear. James tells us habits are the compound interest of self improvement. Here's the math. If you get just 1% better every day for a year, you'll end up 37 times better by the end of the year. Over time, those tiny daily actions compound into extraordinary results. So how do we start building atomic habits? First, focus on trajectory, not results. Clear says you should be more concerned with your current trajectory than your current results. Show up consistently and trust the process. Next, start small, Clear reminds us. Make it so easy, you can't fail. Think one push up one page, one minute of focus. And finally, track and celebrate progress. What gets measured gets improved. Find a way to keep yourself accountable. What's one tiny habit you can start today? To point your plane in the right direction.
