I kept restarting every Monday until I changed.
For a long time I thought I just lacked discipline: I’d set goals, feel good about it for a few days, then slowly fall off without really noticing. By the end of the week I’d already be thinking "alright, next Monday I’ll do it properly."
Same cycle over and over again. What actually changed things wasn’t getting motivated or some new system. I ended up being part of a small squad where we each picked 1 simple goal for the week and checked in every day. Just showing up and saying you did it.
The weird part is that the goal itself didn’t change at all. But it was that I wasn’t invisible anymore. if I didn’t show up, it wasn’t just me brushing it off, other people noticed.
That alone made me stick to things way more than anything I’d tried before. It kind of made me realise that maybe it’s not really about willpower. Maybe it’s just really hard to stay consistent when no one sees what you’re doing.
