How do I become consistent?
I struggle with consistency. I know nobody's perfect and lose themselves in comfort sometimes but for me, it's almost like I don't care about the tasks I said I'll do. Maybe because I left room for negotiations, lost in the moment I never actually move. I can make bold decisions, sure. Confront my fear, doing things scared. But when it comes to maintaining a thing that's boring, repetitive? Yeah, no. Not everything. But most of thing that haven't become my habits yet. I know it's important that's why I'm asking for any advice! I've read and applied almost all of your answers. I appreciate it, sincerely. :)
