Right?

I had to double check to see if it was a french philosopher or that Star Trek character. I was mostly certain it was from Star Trek.

Normalization in progress makes it more like the left. Example of working out and hitting a new plateau or fitness level, which is now your baseline and you fluctuate and start all over (You are still progressing). This is why you note progress with values and not feelings (Of course this doesnt work well with certain areas that are inherently subjective).

Or on a long time scale it would be logarithmic, relative to certain factors, and you have an absolute limit.

Maybe average steps a week?

For me, the y-axis increase is purely wisdom. I haven't achieved or created much, but I've learned a lot on what not to do.

That's cap bro I hit like 30k steps on my 2ds in a day for those little orange tokens

Idk about than man... I have data that say the first ones true

Except financially, then the charts are reversed

As a sine wave I'm now having an identity crisis.

All is needed is that determination and resilience.

I felt like I was drowning the last 10yrs, but I’m actually doing alright…making more than my goal in college, from which I dropped out of, and it’s not too many years later. Keep on learning something everyday and doing something that scares you everyday…it stacks up.

I was looking at it from the perspective of mental health. I guess it makes a bit more sense in the context of practicing a skill, though it's still not totally true.

I needed this today :)

Because there will almost always be periods where you regress either temporarily or permanently if your upkeep is not good enough. Every time I've tried to get fitter and healthier, I've had a small amount of success followed by me rapidly putting on more weight than when I started. My math skills are well below when I was at uni, despite now being a math teacher, because I haven't reviewed the higher level skills in a long time. The continued growth shown in this image relies on consistent, increasing effort (as you get better, it gets harder to improve further) along with some luck (unforseen circumstances not getting in the way), and in reality, people frequently lack the motivation to achieve this. If you pause your efforts, you will often lose skills rather quickly. So it's somewhat demoralising if you know that you genuinely are not improving.

How derivative.

(*yes, this is a calculus joke)

Not only can you not ALWAYS do your best but you shouldn't. That would be exhausting. Unless by your best you mean simply putting forth effort. Then of course always do your best. Just remember: anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. Consistency trumps sporadic action every day of the week.

So true. Thanks. Needed this.
