Raise The Floor Not The Ceiling
- Real change comes from your minimum standards, not occasional best efforts.
- Repeating ordinary actions consistently builds progress more than singular highlights.
Set Embarrassingly Easy Minimums
- Define a tiny, non-negotiable daily minimum for body, fuel, and mind.
- Make the floor embarrassingly easy so you'll actually do it every day.
Never Miss Twice
- Use the 'never miss twice' rule to treat discipline as comeback practice.
- Bounce back to your floor immediately after a slip instead of chasing perfection.
