Make the minimum easy

The easiest way to build a streak is to make the minimum version of your practice feel almost effortless. A few minutes of typing is enough to keep the chain alive.

The more forgiving the minimum, the less likely you are to break the habit after a hard day.

Protect the habit, not the ideal

It is better to do a small session than to wait for a perfect one. A short routine that repeats often creates more improvement than an ambitious plan that only appears on good days.

Consistency is built through follow-through, not through intensity.

Frequently asked questions

What if I miss a day?

Start again with the smallest version of the habit. A short session still counts and helps you recover your rhythm.
