Chart of the Day: Atomic Habit of 1%

blue chart showing 1% increase overtime

Contents

Today’s Chart of the Day is a little different than others, but one to think about. It’s from the book Atomic Habits by James Clear written in 2018. In a nutshell, if you identify a goal, such as walking more, reducing calories, reading more, or connecting more with friends, and if you increase that activity just 1% every day, in one year the results are exponential, just like atomic energy. This is also relevant to saving and investing. Even if you start out small, being consistent and adding 1% each time you can has a significant impact on your future.
