Why is consistency is so difficult?
What is consistency?
The simple definition is to do something repeatedly over an extended period of time.
So now, why is being consistent so difficult for some people, while it seems to be so easy for others?
That’s what I used to ask myself all the time.
If that’s the case, there must be something that consistent people do that helps them keep going…
Right?
It was when I first realized the importance of feedback loops that I started to get somewhere.
It turns out we humans are extremely feedback-driven creatures.
So if we don’t get feedback in some way or another, we start to avoid taking action.
It’s the same reason why people who try sensory deprivation make up things in their heads and sometimes start to hallucinate (image below).
It’s because they lack sensory feedback and input from the external world.
Then I noticed something while listening to an episode of The Game by (btw, great podcast).
In that episode, I learned that the better you get at something, the more feedback loops you can extract from your work.
He explained that when he writes books like $100M Offers or Leads, he can extract a lot of small feedback loops while writing, like shortening a paragraph down to just a sentence or two.
And now it all started to make sense.
The reason it was so hard to stay consistent was that I lacked competence.
And that made me realize there was no way around it except by getting through it.
But hopefully, just by realizing this, you’ll remember that it won’t get easier over time…
You’ll just get better.
So that taught me that the better you become, the easier it is to keep going.
Hope this helped in some way.
