The one percent rule.

James Altucher’s article on one percent rule is surely a great work.

Good habits are not an easy thing to acquire, so are bad habits.

        To practice any habit it requires a constant devotion from our end. The habit would start from nothing till it develops to something of great significance in our life.

         We want the habits to develop very quickly. Small and slow are something unrecognizable to us. It seems nothing has changed if we do a bit by bit constantly every day.

         Of course nothing can be achieved overnight. But to be good at something, we need to do at least some minimum amount of change in our life. Such as improving at least one percent a day? 

        

         If we go on becoming better at something one percent a day for a full year we surely are thirty seven times better than what we were a year ago. Similarly if we start to go bad or degrade one percent a day, in a year we are almost zero.

        Why not inculcate at improving just one percent a day? So that you would not even know that change has happened in your lifestyle.

        Devoting one percent of your total time in a day (24*60= 1440 minutes you have in a day, 1% being 14.4 minutes) to something productive. Something like a mere fifteen minutes a day to be better? 

        A fifteen minutes a day to read a good book! Or drawing one sketch of your choice in that short time or playing a game of your choice with a mindset of excelling at it! Any small things with just one percent of your time!

And reversing not healthy stuffs by doing one percent less of it!

       Some simple things such as wasting one percent less time on social networks scrolling news feed or eating one percent less of junk food a day! Within a year your bad habits would be at a zero.

       When we get the desire to be better, implementing the one percent rule would surely help. Neither our mind nor our body opposes the almost unknown change that we plan, 

The one percent change.
