An excerpt from the books of Takeshi Mori

A 1% improvement every day compounds to a 37x improvement over a year. Not because any single day was dramatic, but because no day was skipped.

This is the power of kaizen: it is sustainable in a way that sprints are not. You do not need motivation to make a one-percent improvement. You do not need willpower to adjust a single detail. You need only the willingness to notice what could be slightly better and to act on that observation today.
