The Consistency Project

Most routines fail because they look good on paper, not in real life.

People design routines for their best days:

When they’re energized

When they’re motivated

When nothing goes wrong

But life doesn’t work like that.

Why perfect routines fail

A routine that only works when everything is perfect will collapse the moment:

You’re tired

You’re stressed

You miss one day

And when it collapses, most people quit entirely.

What a real routine looks like

A real routine:

Is flexible

Allows bad days

Has a “minimum version”

Instead of asking:

“What’s my ideal routine?”

Ask:

“What’s the bare minimum I can do even on my worst day?”

That minimum is your anchor.

Example

Instead of:

“Study 2 hours every day”

Try:

“Study 10 minutes no matter what”

You can always do more — but you never skip entirely.

That’s how routines survive real life.
