Compound your way out
0.1% a day
0.1% a day doesn’t sound like much. Annualized, it’s huge.
When it’s about as bad as it gets — just make a little progress every day.
Don’t look back at where you were. Just the next step, then the next.
The first weeks show nothing. Around day 90 you see it: used to be here, now up there.
That’s how my instructor course went: “I just pass something every day. Today — rescues, of myself and others.”
“You start, you continue — and soon your results are better than most. Because most never start. Or start and quit right away.” — Nikita Kolmogorov
