Ask HN: What do you do to improve every day?

4 pointscrcl2 comments

I've often heard/read that one should aim to improve themselves a little bit each day (e.g. improve by 1%, whatever that means, every day and your progress will compound over time).

To those who DO subscribe to this notion, what do you do to improve every day?

To those who DO NOT subscribe to this notion, why not?

I usually work in terms of Pomodoros which I use as my deep work outlets. I try to hit as high number as I can get. My personal best is doing 20 pomodoros in a day which translates to 10 hours of focused work.

P.S: A pomodoro is 30 minute work followed by a short break.

I break it down into 3 sections. Physically, mentally, and at work. If I improve at all of those, even marginally, it's a win for the day.
