Consistency looks unimpressive right before it becomes impossible to ignore.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Consistency looks like nothing for a long time, which is exactly why so few people stay with it. There is no visible return on week three, and the temptation to switch to something more exciting is at its strongest precisely when the compounding has begun and is still invisible. Then at some point the accumulated work becomes obvious to everyone at once, and it looks like a sudden change. It was never sudden.

Pick something and commit to a length of time rather than a result, because results arrive on their own schedule. Ninety days is usually enough to see something real. Judge yourself on attendance during that period and nothing else.
