A 1% rule is a way to get in the habit of making progress by breaking tasks into quantifiable percentages.

For example, instead of commiting to reading a book, commit to reading 3 pages of a book each day. It might takes you hundred days to read a 300-page book, but you are guaranteed to finish, so long as you read at least 3 pages each and every single day.

If you broadcast yourself working on Twitch.tv , it would make you work harder just from knowing that someone else is watching you work.
