Consistency

This is a term I have come across very often. The benefits of being consistent. The importance of being consistent. The reasons to be consistent.

Well, for one, I have tried times and again to be consistent. I don't even think it has to do with routine. It's simply the ability to keep at doing something, through rough and tough, not only during the good days, but also during the less good ones. It's about doing the thing even if you don't feel like it. It is also a question of priorities. Distractions are daily occurrences that we cannot avoid (also excuses to procrastinate). We must think about the long term. It takes time to build something. 

It is a real challenge. It's not simple to be consistent for the sake of being consistent. The underlying reasons are always important because they prompt you to think about the long haul.

I'm trying my best to be consistent because I know it's going to help me. It's a skill I need to embrace and earn.

Consistency

You've got to be consistent in whatever you do. To improve, learn, and be successful, you've got to be committed and consistently do what you must, in order to move in the direction of your dreams.

Hang in there, 0.1% improvement is always better than zero. Over time it compounds and leads to unexpected results. Be driven by the system, by the action, by what it takes. Persevere and be consistent.

Minimalism

There has been a recent movement towards minimalism, living a minimalistic life. The idea is to reduce consumption, be comfortable with what you have and live a clutter-free life.  Many of us cannot tolerate the idea is living without being surrounded by material things. We feel so comfortable in an environment of accumulation and we fail to see that our belongings are not only taking physical space but also mental space. I was slowly progressing towards clearing my space when I came across the term and it clicked. It was like the word definition to what I was going through. Although I wouldn't call myself a minimalist, I now take more care of my space. I'm more appreciative of what I have and feel less compelled to buy things. I realise material things are not valuable to us unless we are using them. With this in mind, I ask myself if I really need that item, will it bring anything positive to my life? If not, I don't need that item. I make better purchasing choic...
