Compound effect is deeply integrated with the HABIT and DISCIPLINE which we adopt in of lifestyle. Habit is an action what we do on a regular basis, some time even without being aware of it. Performing the action in a regular interval with conscious mind is Discipline.
So, if your habit is aligned with discipline, you will have an exponential result which is called compound effect. A small, consistent action, repeated over time, leads to significant lasting result which can also be implemented in daily life activity such as health, finance, productivity, and personal growth.
How it works in daily life:
Health & Wellness: A simple walking for 30mins daily seems a mere activity, but over years it adds to hundreds of hours of exercise leading to improve fitness, mood and over all well-being. Similarly making some dietary changes, like drinking more water, reducing sugar, adding more vegetarian and fruits to diet, can have profound on long term health.
Finance: Saving a small amount, like ₹50 a day, may not seem impactful, but over a year it becomes ₹18,250, and with consistent investing, it grows significantly over decades due to compound interest. Conversely, spending ₹50 daily on small indulgences adds up to a substantial amount lost over time.
Personal Growth: Reading just 20pages of a book each day can result in finishing 25-30 books a year, leads in exponential increase in knowledge and skill over time. Daily solving Sudoku puzzle over the time will decrease the chance of dementia at your older ages.
Productivity: Dedicating just 15 minutes a day to learning a new skill results in over 90 hours of practice in a year, leading to noticeable improvement. Improving your work performance by just 1% each week can make you 67% better over the course of a year
