Consistency is commitment with flexibility.

Commitment without flexibility becomes brittle, and flexibility without commitment becomes drift. Consistency lives in the combination, where the destination is fixed but the daily route can change according to what the day allows. Most people pick one half and then wonder why the thing did not last.

Get specific about which part is fixed and which part can move. The direction is not negotiable, the intensity is. Holding that line means you can have a light week without it becoming a lost one.
