Momentum

Momentum has several key characteristics that make it a potent force:

Low Stakes Wins: Complete three tiny, unrelated tasks early in the morning—like making the bed or clearing your inbox. These small wins signal to your brain that today is a day of completion. Momentum

Radical Consistency: Momentum is a fragile thing. It is much easier to maintain 60% effort every day than it is to stop for a week and try to restart at 100%. The Danger of Friction Momentum has several key characteristics that make it

Low velocity momentum is indistinguishable from failure. During this phase, you get no dopamine hits. The scale doesn't move. The bank account doesn't grow. The phone doesn't ring. You feel like you are Sisyphus pushing the rock. It is much easier to maintain 60% effort

Everyone loses their rhythm eventually. The key to recovery is not to panic or wait for "inspiration" to return. Inspiration is a luxury; momentum is a discipline. When you find yourself at a standstill, lower the bar. Don't try to get back to where you were at your peak immediately. Simply move the object—any object—even a fraction of an inch.
