↗️ Consistency beats Intensity
🕑 2 min Read
A few years ago, a mentor shared these three words with me and it made a lot of sense:
‘Consistency beats intensity.’
I wholeheartedly agreed! Here are some examples of this:
✅ Get/give frequent feedback at work.
❌ Get/give feedback only once a year at work.
✅ Do a 15-minute workout every day, rain or shine.
❌ Do a 1.5-hour workout only on Sundays.
✅ Study for 30 minutes every day for a few weeks.
❌ Cram all night before the exam.
✅ Meditate for 10 minutes per day.
❌ Meditate for 1 hour only once a week.
✅ Spend at least a few minutes of quality time with family every day.
❌ Spend three weeks of quality time once a year on holiday.
Binging is simply less effective in the long run, if you want to make sustainable change in your work and personal life.
As a coach, I help my clients be successful and accountable to themselves. Mentioning "consistency beats intensity" in the right moment has given many of them a mental jolt!
