If you feel yourself wrestling with resistance and procrastinating on practice, just ask for the 1% version.
If you find yourself hesitating to start because you want to be 100% effective from the very beginning, just aim for 80%.
The real issue isn’t that 1% is so small, or that 80% isn’t perfect. The real issue is that your streak is still stuck at 0. What 1% improvements and 80% solutions have in common, other than being “imperfect”, is that they’re both greater than 0.
If you still haven’t begun, lower your standards for today. You can always raise them tomorrow. What you can’t do is start yesterday.
