Active vs Passive
Wealth can be compounded passively.
Health can’t. It will only improve by effort.
Frequency
You can’t ignore nutrition on some days of the week and expect results.
You can meditate for a couple of days in a week and see results.
Progressive Difficulty
Reading gets easier.
Losing fat gets harder.
Sprinting Constraints
You can’t lose weight in one day, irrespective of how motivated you are!
You can read a book in one day.
Marginal Utility
Money has declining marginal utility after a point.
Reading a book after you’ve read 10 others has more value as you can connect ideas. It keeps compounding.
