1% Self Development Systems
Nov 16, 2020Small incremental changes allow us to experience positive results and develop lasting habits. Changes applied at a minimal level enable us to avoid fear and resistance that we generate naturally to protect ourselves from the unknown. Fortunately, even small changes accumulate exponentially to deliver surprisingly exceptional results. I say surprisingly because our mind is often inaccurate when estimating exponential growth perditions. Using Mathematical equations and charts, we can more clearly recognize the true potential of compounding progress.
The example described here can be applied to any development imaginable. This method is used by athletes and entire corporations to produce constant improvement.
While more significant results are attainable when we apply higher development rates, we focus on 1% (percent) for this exercise's simplicity. Even at 1%, consistent improvements deliver incredible results that we can comfortably maintain. Occasionally neglecting our progress does not significantly impact our overall development. These minimal changes become a part of our daily routine so quickly that we end up craving the rewarding effect they provide to us, and most often, we bring them right back into our lives.
Using this formula to calculate a 1% improvement over 365 days:
(1+1%)^365=37.8x - We become 37.8 times better at something in one year!
The chart below shows the actual progress we can expect.
Remarkable results. Note how initially it takes 71 days to double our skill level. Then the progression occurs at a much quicker rate while keeping the constant 1% increments.
Imagine learning something in the beginning and retaining only a fraction of what you have studied. While you advance to understand more of the content, you memorize exponentially more information from the same amount of studying you did every day.
These gains are realistic and consistently deliver noticeable changes that motivate us to keep going. Try some of this in your life today! Improve 1% every day to become 37.8 times better at anything in one year.
