Show Notes

No single workout transforms your body. No single meal ruins your health. No single day determines your destiny. But string enough of them together, and everything changes.

Darren Hardy calls it the compound effect. James Clear writes about getting 1% better every day—which compounds to 37 times better in a year.

Key topics:

  • The compound effect and invisible short-term results
  • James Clear on the math of 1% daily improvement
  • How to change your defaults to change your trajectory

Today's Practice: Examine your defaults. What do you do first thing in the morning? What do you reach for when you're bored? Change the defaults, change the trajectory.

Master the mind. Your life will follow.
