You know you need to be consistent.
But how?
Try this:
1. Start small. It's hard to write a blog post every week, but it's a lot easier if each post is only 200 words.
2. Abandon perfectionism. You can't be a perfectionist AND be consistent.

3. Pick something you want to do because you enjoy it - not because you think you should do it. Consistency is hard enough without you making it harder on yourself by choosing to do something you hate.
4. Track it. A ✅ is a shockingly powerful motivator.

5. Commit to do it at a specific time. As SNL producer Lorne Michaels famously said, "The show doesn't go on because it's ready, it goes on because it's 11:30."

7. Don't get derailed by a screw-up. If you've got a 10-day streak going and miss the 11th day, just start a new 10-day streak. Doing something 20 out of 21 days is still pretty damn consistent.
8. Don't worry about quality. Consistency will eventually lead to quality.

9. Hack your own psychology. Maybe you need to make a bet? Maybe you need to have something taken away from you until you accomplish your goal?
10. Just do it 3 times. If you can do something 3 times, you'll be shocked how easy it becomes to do it a 4th.
