This effort isn’t wasted, it is stored (hence the term “latent”). This means tangible results of a new habit are delayed early on.

Habits often behave the same way as melting ice- you see no new result until you break through a certain point. Here’s another way of thinking about enormity of compound interest on tiny 1% improvements – If you regress 1% a day for an entire year, it’s the equivalent of going from the height of a one story house (10 feet tall) to the height of a large apple (3 inches tall). Success or failure in any area of your life is merely a lagging indicator of the quality of your daily habits. Habits are a double-edged sword and can accelerate either growth or deterioration. The slow rate of change makes it difficult for us to see what transformation is underway.

While many of us over-weight the importance of grand, singular moments, we also under-weight tiny changes, the 1% improvements, that occur day to day. But over longer periods of time, compounding will generate very powerful outcomes.

Over a short period of time, the effects of compounding are barely noticeable. Over the course of a week the changes are small, but over the course of a year the changes are massive. The image to the right shows the results of both improving and regressing by 1% every day. British cyclists won 66 Olympic/Paralympic gold medals, 5 Tour de France races, and set numerous world records in the decade after Brailsford began. equipping better bike seats) and non-obvious (finding the best pillow and mattress so the cyclists had optimal sleep). Over time, these small changes compound into incredible performance outcomes.īrailsford implemented hundreds of small improvements, both obvious (e.g. This involves deconstructing every aspect of riding a bike, and then consistently improving each aspect by 1%. He called his strategy ‚ the aggregation of marginal gains. For the previous century, British cyclists performed terribly, winning only one gold medal and never winning the Tour de France.īrailsford had a plan to turn around British cycling. Hired as the performance director of professional cycling for England in 2003, Dave Brailsford had his work cut out for him.
