zen10 : The Power of Habit Investments (Zen Habits Audiocast)

"One of the things I’ve learned in my last 7 years of creating new habits is the power of compound habit interest. It sounds really obvious when you say it, but if you do something small repeatedly, the benefits accrue greatly over time.
