Consistency in Distraction

Many people believe they struggle with consistency, but the reality is that they are simply consistent at unproductive habits. Common distractions include social media, television, and aimless browsing, which can easily consume two hours a day. This amount of distraction translates to losing an entire work week each month, highlighting the misallocation of time and focus. Instead of lacking consistency, individuals often need to redirect their efforts towards activities that genuinely promote their progress and well-being.
