Consistency Over Herculean Effort

Achieving goals is more effective by focusing on small, manageable daily tasks rather than one-time intense efforts. By lowering the standards for what constitutes a successful day, individuals can foster a sense of accomplishment that builds motivation to continue the next day. This approach, termed the 'two-bar strategy,' emphasizes consistency, allowing for gradual progress toward long-term objectives. With each minor success, individuals generate momentum and ultimately find themselves surpassing their initial, higher aspirations.
