Consistent consistency will guarantee you success. - Orange Book
It's very hard to be consistent, even harder to be consistently diligent like we were yesterday or last year—especially when our consistency has yielded only negative results, as in competitive arenas like sports or business. Nonetheless, consistency is our most certain practice to enlarge ability.
Even the sun is not consistently visible—a mere cloud can block sunlight for hours. Similarly, a mere distraction can cause you to skip practice. But the sun is consistent, and so are world-class athletes and businesses producing daily needs. My guess is that these people or entities are well-led. Leadership is the first step to consistency. Leadership entails a clear vision, and therefore, clear direction of Do’s & Don’ts.
First, we prioritize not tasks, but elevated states in which we are most productive. This includes sleeping well, eating healthy, and exercising. As long as you wake up each day with renewed hunger and energy to practice your strengths and your craft, I strongly believe your success is guaranteed.
Lack of consistency and therefore rapid progress is due to mismanaging not time, but our energy and attention. You may spend time practicing your craft, but if you're running on drained energy or batteries, you're most likely wasting time.
Let me say this: strive to practice with utmost hunger, energy, and diligence. That, in fact, may guarantee success—if you crack the code to repeat it daily for years.
