The Idea
The compound effect is the idea that small, seemingly insignificant actions can lead to huge results over time.
The idea of the aggregation of marginal gains (philosophy of searching for a tiny margin of improvement in everything you do) also applies here.
Through using Obsidian I am taking advantage of how my knowledge compounds by referring to my prior understanding of a topic and leveraging that knowledge for expansion instead of having to re-learn things.
This also works in reverse.
- Stress compounds
- Negative thoughts compounds
