- Kaizen: Change by Tiny Steps
Kaizen is the practice of continuous improvement through steps so small they barely register as change — one-percent gains, repeated. Originally an industrial method, applied to personal change it works by keeping steps below the threshold that triggers fear and resistance, so you keep going where big leaps would stall. The compounding is real; most claims here are mechanistic rather than trial-tested. - Shrink the step below the fear threshold
