This Coach Improved Every Tiny Thing by 1 Percent and Here’s What Happened

Came across this on jamesclear.com  In 2010, Dave Brailsford faced a tough job. No British cyclist had ever won the Tour de France, but as the new General Manager and Performance Director for Team Sky (Great Britain’s professional cycling team), Brailsford was asked to change that. His approach was simple. Brailsford believed in a concept that he referred to as the “aggregation of marginal gains.” He explained it as “the 1 percent margin for improvement in everything you do.” His belief was that if you improved every area related to cycling by just 1 percent, then those small gains would add up to remarkable improvement. They started by optimizing the things you might expect: the nutrition of riders, their weekly training program, the ergonomics of the bike seat, and the weight of the tires. But Brailsford and his team didn’t stop there. They searched for 1 percent improvements in tiny areas that were overlooked by almost everyone else: discovering the pillow t

And as much as we want it peace cannot be brought in the market and neither can you order it online. So where do we go to find peace? Have you ever wondered why Buddhist monks seem to be so peaceful? Why do they never seem tensed no matter what? There is a simple reason for this, they don't follow certain rules of living that we do. We all know that Buddha had everything going for him. He was the crown prince. No luxury was new to him and there was nothing that he couldn't acquire. He had ample opportunities in life where he could accumulate as much stuff as his heart desires. Yet he chose to leave it all behind him? The simple principle that makes life easy for them

How Calculus helps us in our Professions

With calculus, we have the ability to find the effects of changing conditions on a system. By studying these, you can learn how to control a system to make it do what you want it to do. Because of the ability to model and control systems, calculus gives us extraordinary power over the material world. Calculus is the language of engineers, scientists, and economists. The work of these professionals has a huge impact on our daily life - from your microwaves, cell phones, TV, and car to medicine, economy, and national defense. Credit card companies  use calculus to set the minimum payments due on credit card statements at the exact time the statement is processed by considering multiple variables such as changing interest rates and a fluctuating available balance. Biologists  use differential calculus to determine the exact rate of growth in a bacterial culture when different variables such as temperature and food source are changed. This research can help increase the rate of

Reduce Stress by overcoming Desires

Time and again the Bhagavad Gita has stressed on overcoming desires through Lord Krishna educating Arjuna. Overcoming desires helps to concentrate on the present and prevents dilution of energy other than disappointments in the event of failure . There are both materialistic as well as lustful desires which need to be overcome always . Like nutraceuticals there are nutriments which nourish good thoughts and this comes through careful reflection.  Solutions:  You are dwelling on something. You cancel that by  making the mind dwell on healthier things: I liked  “Techniques for Overcoming Hindrances” section of  Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English   by Bhante Gunaratana and here are 4 points that he succinctly stressed upon : Pure mindfulness—When a desire arises, notice that it is present.  When it disappears, notice that it is absent. Mindful reflection—Generate a genuine, healthy desire to rise  above this unmindful reflection and get rid of it. Generate its opposite,  mindful

Distribution Strategy-Riding the Future by Abandoning the Past

A good way of studying distribution strategy is to look at the way the rules of film reaching the end consumer has changed. The movie halls were first beaten by CDs and DVDs which saved both commuting time and cost per ticket for each family member. In the early 2000s Netflix's revolutionary DVD by mail service put all the most powerful movie-rental stores out of business. If we remember blockbuster was the giant who controlled the DVD brick and mortar movie rental and was ultimately displaced by the dvd by mail service.  Netflix offered more than 100,000 titles, there was no commuting and late fees involved .By 2010 as Netflix surged the once mighty Blockbuster fell into bankruptcy. Also around the same time Coinstar's Redbox started a $1/day DVD rental kiosk and Hulu also started an ad supported high quality free access to movies and TV shows . To come back to Netflix it had 25 million subscribers ,built up a massive physical DVD library and a streaming library of 2
