Discipline isn’t perfection
It’s recovery speed

Everyone can show up when life is smooth
Pros stay consistent when it’s messy
One miss doesn’t break you
Two in a row does

The truth:

  • Consistency is a math game - protect the average, not the perfect day

  • Momentum dies from gaps, not slow reps

  • A tiny floor beat on bad days keeps the identity intact

I used to restart every time I slipped
New plan
New notebook
New guilt
Progress kept resetting
Everything changed when I installed a simple rule
Never miss twice
If I missed the gym at 7am, I walked 15 minutes at 7pm
If I skipped writing 500 words, I wrote 100 before bed
Streak lived, standards held, results compounded

Do this today:

  • Pick one priority domain - health, sales, or craft

  • Define your daily floor - the smallest version that still counts
    Examples
    Health - 10 pushups or a 10 minute walk
    Sales - 5 quality messages
    Creative - 150 words or a 60 second draft

  • Create a rescue window - a backup slot on your calendar for the floor only

  • Pre-commit the fallback - write it on a sticky note where you work and sleep

  • Track streak health - green for full day, yellow for floor day, red for miss

  • If you hit red, schedule two greens immediately to erase the skid

Rules that help:

  • No zero days

  • No double misses

  • Floors count, excuses don’t

You don’t need a perfect month
You need a stubborn streak

What floor and rescue window will you lock in before the day ends

Cut the fluff. Never miss twice.
