Consistency matters

Available on Apple, Spotify, Amazon and more...

Summary

Consistency is huge. I almost didn’t make a video today because my eye was weeping and irritating, but I rested and made it anyway because I promised myself I’d be consistent. Most people fail because they’re not consistent with their tools, then blame the app when it’s really them. Be consistent or you’re just pissing in the wind.

Okay, today’s video is going to be about consistency. Oh, man, my eye.

So, consistency is huge. I promised myself that I wanted to make these daily videos, and they’re so simple to do, I want to do them. It doesn’t matter where I am, what I’m doing. I want to be able to make these videos.

So, consistency is a thing for me. As you can tell from my nose, my nose is running has been since Friday, I would say, but also my eyes have been irritating me. I know I don’t have hay fever. I’ve tried hay through you the tablets. Anyway, I don’t want to get into that thing.

So consistency is the thing. So today I was planning to make a video. Obviously it’s Monday, but I said I don’t want to make a video because my eye is weeping. I went for a walk, came back. My eyes just was irritating, and then all of a sudden I couldn’t move it so well. I don’t know if you can see it or anything. But it was annoying as how, so I was like, okay, I’m not going to make a video today.

But I thought, wait a minute. Consistency, right? So let me rest my eye. So I rested for about, what, two hours. Kind of fell asleep, listening to podcasts, stuck my hand on my eye. I’ve washed it out. And I’ve got to a stage where it’s weeping. It’s still irritating, but then I could make the video. Again, consistency.

And this is the thing that a lot of people fail on, being consistent in whatever they do, whether it’s posting on social media, whether it’s making videos, whether it’s using their technology. Obviously, I’m a Tech Minimalist. They talk about apples and tech and stuff like that.

So when you pick an app and you’re not consistent, consistent with that app. I say it’s so often it’s annoying. If you’re not consistent with using that app, that tool, that service, you’re going to basically say it’s crap and I’m not going to use it. And the problem is, it’s not the app. It’s you. You don’t have a system and then you’re not consistent with that system, with that app, for you to get any enjoyment or any benefit out of it.

So being consistent, no matter what you do is vital because that’s what makes you better. That’s basically what makes you who you are and how you use that thing or do that thing. So be consistent and I’m going to go and wash my eye. I’m going to go and see my best friend so hopefully she can check it out as well.

Be consistent because without it, you’re just effectively pissing in the wind, which is an English saying. Anyway, hopefully my eye gets better tomorrow. I’m sure it will. We’ll see. And I’ll see you tomorrow. Have a good one.

Say bye, Woof!

Bye.

Woof!
