Wait, first: what is a habit?

hab-it:
1. a routine or practice performed regularly; an automatic response to a specific situation.

Have you ever seen a bell curve chart? Well we included one below. There's a saying that 1% better every day is better than 1% worse - the concept is that the sum of your actions compound over time: a small change now means huge returns on investment later - and all you ever did was put in 1% effort. Can't beat those odds..

Forget about focus. Focus on systems instead."
