Building Consistency as a Habit Part 1: Make the Commitment Small Enough to Keep
Framework Overview: Consistency is not about motivation. It is about designing actions you can repeat even on bad days. Today is Pillar 1. Pillar 1: Shrink the Commitment If the habit feels heavy, you will avoid it. Your first job is to make the action so small that skipping it feels silly. How to apply this today: 1. Choose one habit you want to be consistent with. 2. Reduce it to the smallest version that still counts. Examples…Workout becomes 5 pushups. Reading becomes one page. Journaling becomes one sentence 3. Decide that this small action is the win. Nothing extra is required. The goal is not improvement yet. The goal is showing up. When you prove to yourself that you can show up daily, scale becomes easy. Action for Today: Write down the smallest version of one habit you will complete today. Do it once. Stop. Come back tomorrow for Pillar 2.
