Small Steps, Big Impact: The Power of Consistency Over Intensity

Episode Summary

Explore the power of small, consistent actions over time, drawing from James Clear's Atomic Habits. This episode covers the impact of 1% improvements, how habits compound to create lasting change, and why consistency often outweighs intensity. Discover how simple, sustainable steps lead to significant growth.

Key Points:

• 1% Improvements: Small, incremental changes compound over time, leading to significant growth.

• Consistency Over Intensity: Sustainable progress comes from consistent actions, not short bursts of effort.

• Habits as Compound Interest: Habits are like compound interest in self-improvement—small efforts today lead to major results in the future.
