Slight Edge again ....

One of the earliest jewels I got from my friend when the internet had not been as ubiquitous as it is now - was an article on "Slight Edge Philosophy".  I found the article amazing and very instructive. I would like to say I have followed it diligently but alas! that is not true. :)

However .. time and again .. it never ceases to amaze me how little things add up !

I use Andromoney and I am very happy with the app - I am able to enter the day's expenses and get basic reports. I can use it to budget too but right now I am not using that feature. Which actually reminds me that I should rate the app in google play. I definitely like it.

Coming back - each time I go out it surprises me to see just how much spending happens even though the individual amounts are never alarming. A Rs 50 here, A Rs 120 there, Rs 35 here and .... et voila .. already I  have spent Rs 945 !!!!

Same goes with food - a little munching here and there add up to a huge amount at the end of the day. I am talking about little bites - extra 1/4 th roti. Small 2nd helping of that cashew nut subji, a sliver of extra cake  ! :) Not binge eating --- just a little extra at every meal !

A few minutes wasted indiscriminately add up to a couple of hours at the end of the day !

And so ... to turn the tide towards the positive perhaps a slight edge is all the start we need. Even if 10,000 hours an expert make - compounding is good - in small bits and bytes. :)
