10,000 Small Improvements

The “10,000-Hour Rule,” popularized by Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers, is often misunderstood. It isn’t practicing the same move for 10,000 hours—it’s deliberate practice with clear goals, fast feedback, and constant adjustments. In other words, it’s 10,000 hours of iterations, not 10,000 hours on autopilot.

You don’t get great by working longer; you get great by trying, learning, and tweaking. Pick a goal that matters, take one small action, then pause and ask: what helped and what didn’t? Change one thing and try again. Try → notice → tweak → repeat.

Keep shaping the game so it fits you. If “be the best” feels too big, make it specific: not “get fit,” but “walk 20 minutes after dinner.” Not “grow my business,” but “message three prospects before noon.” Not “perfect a whole song,” but “fix two messy chords.”

When something drains you, adjust; when something works, do more. Start tiny—one goal, one action, one tweak—keep what works, drop what doesn’t, and over time the pattern reveals your edge until “best in class” becomes your routine.
