Good motivational post, been thinking on similar lines lately. Compounding might be the most powerful force. It’s hard to fight the temptation to quit when not seeing results but doing something small consistently for years will have a big impact. Just do a thing and keep doing it for a while and you will see big changes.

Ah yes, no doubt about it.

I hadn't thought about compounding at the time of writing this essay. One of the reasons was that I just felt like grabbing people by their necks and thrust their face in the screen while shouting "see...see..you can just do things.. don't wait.."

Sometimes, it is better to take the immediate, most feasible action: doing the thing in front of us. Then doing the next thing. Then the next..
