The Power of Small Changes (Sorites Paradox and Atomic Habits)

Concept

The Sorites Paradox illustrates how a series of small changes can eventually lead to a significant overall change, even if each individual change seems insignificant on its own. Atomic habits are small, incremental changes that, when compounded over time, lead to remarkable results.

How It Works

It works by demonstrating that incremental additions or subtractions, when repeated, can transform a state to its opposite, highlighting the cumulative effect of small actions. They work by accumulating small improvements that build upon each other, eventually reaching a tipping point where the overall system shifts in a favorable direction.

The Four Laws of Behavior Change

Concept

The Four Laws of Behavior Change is a framework for building good habits and breaking bad ones by making desired behaviors obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying.

How It Works

The laws work by aligning habits with natural human tendencies: Make it Obvious (cue), Make it Attractive (craving), Make it Easy (response), Make it Satisfying (reward).

Continuous Improvement (1% Better)

Concept

Continuous Improvement is a commitment to always seek small ways to improve, focusing on getting 1 percent better each time to achieve remarkable results over time.

How It Works

By consistently making small improvements, the cumulative effect leads to significant progress, as the small gains compound and build upon each other.
