Hello my fellow Steemians!
‘Simple work, works!’ Today, we are going to talk about the concept of marginal effect and how it can adequately turn your life around.
Most of us are under the misconception that in order to achieve great goals, we have to go through great lengths. We have to fight and struggle, come hell or high water, in the darkest of days, in the deadliest of battlefields, through the harshest of storms, and through the cruelest of events, to achieve our goals and realize our dreams.
That is a reasonable and sensible train of thought. Indeed, if you want to achieve great things, you need to have the resolve to do what it takes to achieve them. Sometimes, it is difficult and wearisome, but that cannot stop us. We will do whatever it takes to find our deliverance at the end of the journey.
Well, I am here to tell you that this sensible train of thought is not absolute, and not always do you have to work yourself to the ground in order to achieve the things you want. This is what we call the Marginal Effect.
Sometimes in life, all you need to is make small and insignificant adjustments, sit back, and watch later as they come into fruition and show huge change and impact.
Imagine that you have desperately been struggling to find a window in your daily routine to study a new language.
You have been wanting to do that for years now, but you have never truly started doing it.
The reason is because learning a new language is a mammoth task. No one can deny that. Or so everyone thinks!
If you were to simply break down the huge goal of learning a new language to small adjustments to your daily routine, after all those years, you could have achieved a state of native efficiency in said language.
For instance, you may not have the time to dedicate 3 hours a day to learning a new language, but you CAN dedicate 30 minutes of your time on the way to work or on the way home to learning the new language.
If you want the improve your life, start simple and make tiny and insignificant adjustments. You do not need to dedicate your time, energy, and focus to improving your life. You can merely decide to spend little bits of time in your daily routine towards the ideal image that you have of yourself in your mind. In time, you will get closer and closer to that ideal image.
Do not think about losing 50 pounds so that you can get into shape. Your goal is not really losing 50 pounds. Your goal is dedicating 30 minutes everyday to work out and exercise. You cannot make the decision of losing 50 pounds (big goals) if you are not willing to first decide to spend 30 minutes every day (simple action) to exercise.
You do not need to think about the goal of learning a new language. Of learning more than ten thousand words, complex grammatical structures, written and spoken language, and etc. You merely need to think about dedicating an insignificant amount of your daily time to studying that language.
That is called the simple action that will inevitably realize your big goal. In this sense, your mind is never overwhelmed with the size of the task and the difficulty of what you will have to go through. Your mind will only process the simple action that you will have to perform every day.
We could go so far as to prove the effect of marginal effect in terms of real math and science, but that will be another blog post for another day.
For now, consider the potential behind the philosophy of the small effect and try to make small adjustments in your daily routine towards a better life.
A BIG HUG!
