This document outlines a process for marginal gains tracking to achieve goals. It involves:
1. Clearly defining your goal and breaking it down into the specific processes needed to achieve it.
2. Evaluating your current level for each process and identifying ways to learn more in order to improve.
3. Experimenting with small, 1% improvements in consistency, speed, intentionality or other aspects of each process through reflection and adjustment.
The goal is to make continuous small gains that accumulate into significant progress overall through regular evaluation and refinement of processes needed to achieve outcomes.
