Your issue isn't about trying hard.
It's about being steady.

You may work really well for three days.
Then something comes up.
Then you're gone.

This isn't about being motivated.
It's about lacking a strong base.

Winners don't succeed just because every day goes perfectly.
They succeed because even on their worst days, they still meet their own rules.

That's what we call the Minimum Viable Day.

It's the smallest actions that keep you in the game.
So you don't fall off.
You don't have to start over.
You don't lose control.

Your MVD isn't a whole plan.
It's the bottom line you always stick to.

Here's an easy MVD you can use:
10 minutes of movement (a walk counts)
10 minutes on a real task (no emails, no cleaning)
10 minutes to prepare for tomorrow (note your first step)

That's just 30 minutes.
Even on the busiest days.

And here's the rule to stay on track:

Never miss two days in a row.
If you miss a day - that's okay.
But missing two days - that starts a pattern.

You don't need to catch up.
You just need to meet your base today.

Most people don't fail because they lack strength.
They fail because their rules fade when life gets tough.

On Saturday, I'm sharing the MVD Scoreboard and a 7-day plan.
If you keep slipping, that could help.
