Consistent and sustained progress towards an objective is the way to get results.
Everyone seems to know this—it is a principle in children’s stories (tortoise and the hair) and the rhyme “slow and steady wins the race”—but it is not often embodied in our actions.
We spend most of our time chasing the high of “flow” and effortless productivity. When the high is over, we feel lost, unproductive, and disappointed.
A day spent chipping away at your goal doesn’t produce much satisfaction, but it delivers results.
