Progress is best

It's the feeling of progress that keeps me going

“The feeling of progress is one of the best feelings of all. This is true even when progress is small.” – James Clear

That’s ultimately why I do what I do, with my habit streaks.

Every day, a small code commit.
A small essay.
A small marketing hack.

Every day, a small dopamine hit.
A small sense of accomplishment.
A small but significant feeling of progress.

You don’t see much happen over a week, a month. But stack them up over a year, they start to get noticeable. A few years, it’s a clear bump up. A decade, we’re on (or over) the moon.

The key is to not just be consistent but iterate.
Refine refine refine.
With every small step, seek a tiny improvement.

Eventually you get to something beautiful.

That’s the hope.
And it usually pays.
