“Most people overestimate what they can do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a year”
— Naval Ravikant
Simplified Meaning:
Many people think they can get a lot of tasks done in just one day, but they often end up feeling overwhelmed or like they haven't accomplished much. For example, you might plan to clean the entire house, finish a big work project, and exercise all in one day, only to find it's too much to handle. On the other hand, people don't always realize how much they can achieve if they work steadily over a longer period, like a year. If you set a small goal, like learning to play the guitar, and practice just a little bit each day, after a year, you'll have made significant progress. This idea suggests that we should focus on making consistent, smaller efforts over time rather than expecting huge results all at once. By being patient and sticking with tasks regularly, we can accomplish more than we initially think.
