I've been digging into mental models recently again. Especially in the light that I kind of dropped a lot of habits and found it hard to get back into them.
While reading, I re-found the concept of compound interest. Basically: if you keep investing into certain activities, they will pay off eventually.
Meaning, "people are rewarded in public for what they practice for years in private".
If you manage to read 20min on a Sunday, that's great. The benefit of reading however will only come once you do it more frequently.
If you manage to meditate 1x per month, that's a great start. The benefit of meditation however will only be noticed once you do it more frequently.
Just knowing and being aware of that concept gave me inspiration, strength and determination of investing more into those little actions that will add up and eventually help me become a better person.
Wrapping up the day now with my journal and reading. Namaste
