Life can only be lived one day at a time, so of course transformation tends to occur one small step at a time. Even the most motivated and radical attempt at change is limited by the length of the day. Then, it's off to bed and back at it again tomorrow. 1% better every day.

My unofficial interview advice: Take time to understand the question. Interviews help us understand how you approach problem solving and working with others, not how quickly you can get to an answer.
