Start new compounding habits at absurdly small scales that

Start new compounding habits at absurdly small scales that require minimal motivation, because consistency over time produces exponentially greater returns than intensity without consistency.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Behavior occurs when three elements converge simultaneously: (behavior requires Motivation, Ability, Prompt convergence) and Habit automaticity develops along a logarithmic curve — (habit automaticity develops logarithmically with rapid early progress). Prescribes starting tiny to maximize consistency, which is the critical variable for compounding effects.
