The power of small numbers is something that many people overlook. But for one individual, the number one has been a source of motivation and success. That individual is [name], who has been using the "1% rule" for 10 years to motivate themselves and achieve their goals. The 1% rule states that if you do just 1% more than you did yesterday, it will add up to significant progress over time. For example, if you read just 1% more each day, or exercise 1% more each day, or wake up 1% earlier each day - it all adds up in the long run. This year [name] decided to take this concept a step further by adding in a habit of thinking longer and deeper about things before making decisions - again taking it one percent at a time. At the end of the year [name] encourages others to take stock of their progress and set new goals for next year - starting with just that extra 1%. As [name] puts it “You don’t have to make huge changes all at once; start small and let your momentum build over time."
