James Clear emphasizes that small, incremental improvements can lead to significant results over time. He illustrates this with the concept of getting 1% better each day, which can make you 37 times better in a year. Conversely, getting 1% worse each day can lead to a near-zero outcome. This idea is encapsulated in the quote, 'Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement.' For example, if you save a little money each day, the compound interest will grow your savings significantly over time. | James Clear | Atomic Habits
