Lol it doesnt make any sense. Whats the reason to use an exp function?

The small change that occurs within over 365 days can lead to greater things.

Its not easy to be consistent humans are not robots
[–]gameandrsd[S] 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Yes it's not, but we are talking about only 1% consistent change.
Imagine a 2%, 3%, 10%?
You miss a day of taking action, so what? the next two days you give 2%.
You need to read "the power of habit" if you make taking action a habit you will achieve great things and yes you will be a robot cause you will start doing it out of a habit not like a burden that you have to do.
Also an important point of this is people need to judge themselves less in terms of what they are achieving on the short run and focus on the long-term.

Unfortunately this just doesn't work for the most people.

Here, this is a good video, a bit long but worth watching.

Unfortunately progress is never linear. For months you plateau and then you level up. The higher your level the slower you level up. Elite sports people hit their peak and then even get worse despite massive continuous effort and practice. 1% improvement a day is super unrealistic, unless we are talking about beginner gains. It's a good post but no human being gets 37.7x better at anything in a year no matter what. It's still a good post for motivation.
[–]devilkingx2 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
1 year is a long time bro, you'll make some crazy gains with daily practice at anything
That was not my point i get the math
[–]no_condoments 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
1.01365 is 37.78 which rounds to 37.8, not 37.7
Sorry man, but with shoddy math like that, I'm just gonna sit in my bed eating hot pockets instead. If I move the microwave into my bed, do you think the plug is long enough to reach the outlet? Gif of me thinking about microwave math: https://giphy.com/gifs/ohdY5OaQmUmVW

Although you can’t compound improve like this to the infinite, this is somewhat true for the beginning
[–]gameandrsd[S] 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Of course. We are talking about percentages.
This applies to every context but let's talk in context of game:
1% for a total beginner who never approached in his entire life, never spoken to girls for more 2 minutes unless it's the cashier or his teacher.. That 1 percent for him can be as simple as saying hi to the next cute girls he crosses path with.
1% for someone advanced doing pickup for 15 years and he can't keep track of how many lays he had, is probably approaching a set with two 10s hotties in the aim of having a threesome with them. Although this can be more of a 10% even for an advanced guy.
But you get the point, whatever you are at the moment you are a 100% or 1, anything you do additionally is counted.
That's why they say do things you are afraid of.
[–]Turbopuschel 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Is taking the power the accurate way to represent the effort, though? That implies that you can keep a steady percent improvement for each day over the day before, making the improvements per day in absolute terms quite high towards the end. The 1 % improvement on the last day is - in absolute terms - more that 37 times higher than the one on the first day.
Still, nice motivational picture.

One Punch Man did 100 pushups, situps and ran 10km every single day, now he can jump from the moon to the earth and fight the dominator of the universe.

Shit you're right! XD Never looked at it the right way, I have to realize.

Everybody wants to kaizen their seduction skills. But what metrics are useful?
What should a man measure?
Most guys are into body count, 1-10 hotness, or number of sets approached.
Those measurements are too general to be of much use.
To really use this 1% strategy, a guy that is not good at pickup has to figure out for himself where he is going wrong

This is pretty awesome, htanks.

for a long time, 2 years probably, my phone wallpaper had been the painting of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night.
This could be a potential replacement.

.99 ^ 365 = 0.0255. So spend your time wisely.
[–]GrislyGrape 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Bad math. Change for us is typically more linear not exponential.
[–]15458434 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Rounding errors are cumulative over time, but won't get you the correct result.
[–]BrunoFromBrazil 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
1% improvement every day = 37x more results in 1 year. Sounds about right.
If you do nothing, you'll sleep with 1 girl a year (average beta). If you commit to game, you'll be sleeping with 3 girls a month by this time next year. Doable, if you put in the work!
[–]ExelsioHD 6 points7 points8 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Bold of you to assume i even get 1 girl lul
[–]ImanShumpertplus 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Well with confidence like that you won’t get any
[–]TheDoctorDreh 6 points7 points8 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
*no improvement at all. OP is completely right. If you are at 1.00 and do nothing, you will be stuck at 1.00.
