You now have a small habit and a fixed trigger.
The final step is making sure it sticks.
Pillar 3: Track Completion, Not Performance
Consistency breaks when you judge quality instead of completion.
Your only metric is whether you showed up.
This removes emotion from the habit and replaces it with proof.
How to apply this today:
- Create a simple tracking method. A note in your phone. A checkmark on a calendar. A daily checkbox
- Mark the habit complete immediately after doing it.
- Do not rate it. Do not reflect on it. Do not optimize it.
Done is the win.
The visible streak becomes the reward.
When you protect the streak, consistency survives stress, travel, and low motivation.
Action for Today:
Set up a single checkbox or calendar mark for your habit.
Complete the habit once.
Mark it complete.
That is enough.
Framework Recap:
Pillar 1: Make the commitment small enough to keep
Pillar 2: Attach it to a fixed daily trigger
Pillar 3: Track completion and protect the streak
This is how consistency becomes automatic instead of exhausting.
