Raising the floor: Bad days matter

Raising the floor means focusing on improving bad days instead of obsessing over amazing days. By making progress on bad days or not letting them ruin the week, sustainable progress can be achieved. The concept of regression to the mean suggests that after a series of bad days, improvement is more likely. Instead of striving for heroic efforts, becoming a better average over time leads to sustainable progress. Too much attention is given to great and worst days, while the majority of days are average. It is important to avoid overexertion and focus on small consistent steps forward.
