💡 When you set goals, they can often feel too big or too far away. That’s when the rule of small steps helps — a concept explained in James Clear’s book Atomic Habits. The essence is simple: break big goals down into small, achievable steps.
🏃♂️ When I was younger, I could barely run 3 km. Years later, when I restarted running, I completely burned out at 1,600 meters. As an engineer, I did the math: if I ran twice a week and added just 20 meters more each time, after one year I’d be running 2,000 meters further. And it worked — within two years, I built up to running 12 km, further than I had ever managed before.
🔑 This method works in life as well. Consistency, awareness, and low time preference make the difference. Don’t chase instant results — give yourself time, and let steady effort compound.
💸 And this connects directly to our financial system. Today’s world runs on high time preference: you feel you have to spend money quickly, because it constantly loses value. Bitcoin, on the other hand, allows you to think with low time preference — to plan long-term, preserve value, and step off the treadmill of urgency.
