Sorry for the spam I meant to include this in my earlier post.
So yeah I recently bought this book which came recommended from Maciej Kuciara and Ash Thorp, and HOLY FUCK BALLS it has been an eye opener!! So the compound effect is about making small smart choices every day which over time will result in radical differences to your life. I'm only about half way through the book and it already opened my mind and eyes to different things, one thing; some bad habits I have that are distracting me from my goals in life.
For example the main one was playing stupid games on my phone which I would procrastinate with instead of doing college work and free up more time to paint. It became such a habit that I didn't really think about it.
So for example i've to get two buses to college and home again every day which can take anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours each way depending on traffic. I'd always play games on my phone for a good bit of the journies. If I summed up the gameplay hours for each day it could be say an 90/120 mins altogether. I'll sum it up with 2 hours a day 5 days a week and then say another two hours at the weekend. So 12 hours a week , in a month - 48 hours, in a year - 576 hours. I've been in college two years so - 1152 hours. And I could probably play those hours over the holidays too. That's a ballpark figure of time wasted that I could of been doing art related studies and watching tutorials etc. So yeah you can have a negative compound effect too!
So this is just one of the ways i'm trying to improve my lifestyle. Darren Hardy said he interviewed a lot of successful people and the one thing they all have in common is they all have really good habits. Something I really need to incorporate into my lifestyle.
Anyway enough of a rant from me, I figured people on here might like this book and get something from it :)
