And how does one empirically measure a 1% daily improvement?
Also how does one consistently improve by 1% daily?

This graph feels so disconnected tho. You usually improve fast when starting out and it gets slower and slower. Not exponentially like in this graph. Doubt you’ll be 1400x times better by the end of year 2. The challenge is to keep it up when it gets slower and still stack smaller and smaller improvements

I like the idea of small incremental improvements. But it’s the 1.01^365 that always grates with me, especially when people talk about it for fitness stuff. “Just get 1% stronger each day!”
But I’d have to be 37 times stronger in a year which is mad.

There is no way to keep improving each day in a compounding sense. The gist may be to instill good habits and follow through, but the graph is actually just vibes. It occupies more space than the message it is trying to convey.
Ussain Bolt stopped improving after his world record. Is he stupid? Just improve by 1% each day and get another record.
Messi must be lazy by not improving his 91 goals in a year tally by a mere 1%.

the graph .. well
That growth doesn’t apply to everything. Things like Gym , piano and most sport. Yes cause these skill stack and you are doing the same thing everyday.
But other skill such as business , marketing , editing , etc these vary cause things are constantly shifting.
