Consistency

By James Clear

Intensity makes a good story but consistency makes progress.

Full Quote

Most people need consistency more than they need intensity.

Intensity:

  • run a marathon
  • write a book in 30 days
  • silent meditation retreat

Consistency:

  • don’t miss a workout for 2 years
  • write every week
  • daily silence

Intensity makes a good story. Consistency makes progress.
