This post was mentioned on Twitter by RJWeiss: New at Gen Y Wealth – http://bit.ly/7rpB6e – Can learning be Compounded?…

Here’s why I came up with. If we choose to master a specific skill, what would happen if we improved by 1% each day? I know it might be difficult to measure 1%, but let’s assume you can. In that case, after 1 year (365 days), how much would you improve?

365 x 1% = 3.65. That would be the improvement if learning were linear.

But we are improving 1% on the skill level of each day. So it is compounded. This turns out (surprisingly) to be 36 times! So we can improve our skill level by 36 times just by improving by 1% each day. I found this really exciting.

I think the important thing (and what your post illustrates beautifully) is that by improving just a little bit each day we can achieve incredible results.

Anyway, that’s my random idea.
