How to maintain momentum

The easiest way to lose momentum is to plan for your aspirational self *all of the time*. Some days you *are* your aspirational self. You wake up with energy and motivation and a will to change the bloody world. ⁠

But some days, you’ll wake up and want to stay on your phone for an hour before you drag yourself out of bed.⁠

You need to accommodate both of those versions of you.⁠

Here’s a habit plan that does that:⁠

  • When I’m my aspirational self, I’ll: Read 20 pages of a book focused on my growth⁠
  • When I’m feeling average, I’ll: Read 10 pages of a book focused on my growth⁠
  • When I’m feeling low energy or off, I’ll: Read 1 page of a book focused on my growth⁠

Having range goals like this has been shown to create more sustainable habits.
