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.
Working on a problem reduces the fear of it.
It’s hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it—even if progress is imperfect and slow.
Action relieves anxiety.
The longer the time frame for results, the less you need intensity and the more you need consistency.
