The 20/20/20 Rule

How Little Things Add Up.

Little things done each day make a big difference by the end of your life.

If you read just 20 pages of a book each day you will have read 973 books over the course of 40 years.

If you invest 20$ a day every day you will retire with nearly two million dollars.

If you exercise 20 minutes a day you will have excercised 292,000 minutes over the course of 40 years. Moreover, you will have burnt nearly 3 million calories in the process.

Think about how rich, educated, and fit you would be if you did these 3 small habits each day.

The smallest of things add up tremendously quickly.

This could be for the good or for the bad.

For instance, the average cigarette smoker smokes around 10 cigarettes a day. If they start smoking at 20 and stop at 60 they’ll have smoked 146,000 cigarettes. Just think about what that does to your health.

Or let’ say you eat 100 extra unnecessary calories from junk food each day. This compounds to roughly 1.5 million calories of junk over the course of your life. This also means that you theoretically put on 417lbs of fat from these unnecessary calories. Obviously, it’s not so simple since your body burns an incredible amount of calories each day.

But if you’re struggling with weight loss it’s worth pondering what reducing just 100 unnecessary calories a day could do for you. Over just the course of the year, it could help you lose 10lbs.

Point is, watch what you do every day.

Even the smallest of things, done daily, make or break your life.
