Kaizen is a Japanese concept that emphasises the idea of continuous improvement. It is a philosophy that originated in Japan that aims at business management as well as individual growth. People in Japan follow it to overcome laziness and achieve the desired goals gradually.  

The term ‘kai’ means 'change' and ‘zen’ means 'wisdom.' It was invented by Masaaki Imai, a Japanese organisational theorist, popular for his work on quality management.

One can take up this technique at any point in life. All you have to do is understand what you wish to achieve and what your objectives are. Becoming 1% better every day is a simple, practical way to achieve big goals.

Besides Kaizen, there are several other Japanese concepts like Kakeibo, which is the art of saving money and KonMari, a technique that involves decluttering and organising homes.
