I feel like the 1% concept helps with motivation. For example if you want to get good at drawing it's better to do a little everyday than doing alot in one go. If you have run out of time in the day all you have to do is a minimum of one line on the paper and this makes it impossible to fail and easy to succeed. You build up momentum and make it a long term habit. This can be applied with anything like exercise or studying and it eventually adds up to massive results.
