Momentum is based on the idea that an object in motion stays in motion.

• It’s more effective to write 200 words every day than it is to write 1000 words once a week
• We’re better off practicing an instrument for 15 minutes every day than we are an hour once a week.

Having something that you do every single day actually reduces decision fatigue and increases your willpower.

For example, if you eat the same breakfast every day, you will not waste your willpower figuring out what you want to eat for breakfast. 

Consistency helps turn habits into a part of your identity.

If you're consistent, whatever you’re doing goes from being an item on your to-do list to a part of who you are. This relates to the formation of identity-based habits.

With consistency, we move from a place of conscious incompetence to unconscious competence.

The truth is that almost nobody has superhuman discipline.

The discipline to do something on a consistent basis is a learned skill. It’s a lifelong work in progress that that requires constant iteration and experimentation.
