Consistency Over Intensity

Shared by Kenji from Japan on November 30, 2025

Summary

Lasting change is built on consistency rather than short bursts of intensity. By focusing on small, sustainable daily actions, one can achieve significant long-term results and avoid the burnout associated with overly ambitious goals.

The Lesson Learned

I learned that consistency is more important than intensity. I used to go all-in on new habits, like working out for 2 hours a day, only to burn out and quit after a week.

Overcoming The Obstacle

I shifted my focus to small, sustainable actions. Instead of a 2-hour workout, I committed to 15 minutes of activity every single day. This small, consistent effort compounded over time and led to lasting change without the burnout.
