Building Consistency: 4 Important Elements
- Below are a few of the most popular techniques that can help you build consistency:
- Start small: Breaking down the habit into smaller, more manageable tasks. This is useful as it makes the task of building consistency less daunting and easier to maintain. For example, if your goal is to read, start by reading for 30 minutes a day.
- Track your progress: Setting reminders or cues can help you remember to do something consistently. This could be an alarm on your phone, a sticky note on your desk, or a habit-tracking app.
- Make it fun: The more fun you have, the more likely you’ll keep pushing. Seek ways to make the task more fun. If you enjoy music, go for it and include it in your routine.
- Have a solid schedule: The more structured, the better and the easier. When no clear schedule is established, it becomes easy to forget and skip some of the sessions or days.
