The Plateau Effect
Principles
- A force of nature that lessens the effectiveness of once effective measures over time; the accustomization of something
- A positive example is how routinely doing a habit reduces the friction and willpower needed to perform it
- A negative example is how a workout can lead to less muscle gain if done consistently
- Our progress starts off exponential, then turns logarithmic
Causes
- Acclimation
- Instant Gratification
- A lack of Proper Timing
Mechanisms
- Flow Mechanisms
- Improperly Measuring Data
Prevention

- Adaptability
- Taking Initiative
