T-88 days: The Slight Edge

These two days, I’ve been reading a book called The Slight Edge – which was one of the CEP recommended books in the past few months.

It struck me, because I know I haven’t been managing my life using the principles mentioned inside. Basically, I need to learn to appreciate delayed gratification better. I need to celebrate minor achievements.

I’ve heard of this concept before when I was listening to Anthony Robbins Personal Power II… that by just committing to improve 1% a day, compounded and collected over 365 days a year, will mean MASSIVE MASSIVE improvements in life!

For example, reading 30 pages a day won’t mean anything significant, but reading 30 pages a day, continuously for a whole year, would mean I would have read nearly 11000 pages! If all these were personal development material, I’m sure that would have made a HUGE HUGE impact on me.

What I also realised is the statement “What is easy to do, is also easy not to do”. I tend to procrastinate some things I don’t see myself getting immediate results in. Its easy to procrastinate. In fact, its also true that procrastinating one day doesn’t bring much harm. But its procrastinating on a regular basis, compounded over weeks and months – that’s where the real harm is.

I’m still halfway through the book, and I’m looking forward to further insights!

Today before I sleep, I’m going to create my goal card that I am going to put in front of myself at least 5 times a day, I’m going to start filling up my daily deliberate actions, and I’m going to drive a little deeper in my keyword research too!

88 days left! Excited.
