The Rate of Change for Change Itself

JONATHAN CUTRELL
About this episode

We can become accustomed to the rate at which we experience change, and imagine that that rate will continue to increase linearly.

Eventually, change will level off. We accumulate fewer skills later in our careers, our network of connections might seem to top out, or our salary bumps slow down.

If we know that change tends to follow a logarithmic shape, we can prepare and plan better for the changing rate of change.
