The magic of increments

A leaking bathtub isn’t a problem for a while, until it overflows.  Five daily minutes spent acquiring a worthwhile skill or habit doesn’t seem beneficial, until you realize that 5 minutes a day adds up to 30 dedicated hours per year, and the results are life-changing.

Our culture celebrates that captivating moment when you “made it”.  Drip-by-drip, incremental change is less glamorous, and rarely highlighted.  Yet it’s the cause of every (seemingly) overnight success story.
