The 1% rule: compound your skills in 90 days

• habits · learning · systems

Tiny improvements stack. A little better today becomes much better later.

The 90-day compounding plan

  • Pick one capability: writing, design, coding, sales, languages.
  • Define the micro-rep: the smallest action that counts (e.g., 1 paragraph, 1 sketch, 10 lines, 1 outreach).
  • Daily minimum: hit the micro-rep even on bad days.
  • Weekly upgrade: once a week, add a slightly tougher rep.
  • Monthly checkpoint: keep what works, drop what doesn’t.

Track lead measures (not lag results)

  • Lead = actions you control (reps, minutes).
  • Lag = outcomes (followers, revenue, grades).
  • Review lead weekly; lags will follow.
