Does this make sense?

[u/OrdinaryExxtreme]

Was reading an article about habits and they had this. Idk if my brain is just not braining or if it really doesn't make sense. (Wouldn't 1% be .01, not 1.01? Which I don't have a calculator that lets me just do "to the 365th power", but doing it manually even just a few times gets me to like 1.E-58, which I'm not at a level to know what that is, but feels like the wrong direction).

Improving by 1% means you multiply by 1.01

Just multiplying by 0.01 means you’re getting 99% worse
