Consistency Matters
A track record proves a lot about a person. That’s why we hand in CVs and they ask for referrals. It is hard to escape. Consistency matters.
‘No-one actually cares what you put out or how you do it, they care if it’s often and consistent.’
A method to the madness.
The reason for why.
Your why.
The consistency of approach.
The consistency of reason.
The consistency of communication.
The consistency of delivery.
The consistency of attitude.
I’ve been told that the fact that my blog is consistently daily matters.
It shows accomplishment.
Somewhat success.
Shows I’ve done more than I’ve actually achieved.
The commitment to do a blog every day is actually quite challenging.
I never know if I’ll actually write anything good.
But ultimately that’s not the point.
I also don’t know what will do the best.
But again, not the point.
Maybe I should rephrase, what will affect the most.
The ones that affect me the most often don’t hit with others.
Why?
Because we’re all different.
My consistency to put out a blog isn’t hereditary discipline.
I’m used to not finishing tasks.
Giving up when it’s hard.
That’s been my track record.
For the last three-hundred odd days, I’ve systematically broken it down.
I’ve managed to make myself relevant.
Somewhat anyway.
More relevant to myself.
People know about the blog and I don’t have to say much.
Not to brag.
But I’m sure that’s a result of consistency.
No-one cares what I write.
But if the title catches attention, they read it.
It might not be what they expected, and that’s part of the surprise.
I find it fun to write something that challenges me.
Especially during these days, when my routine is boring, dissertation and jobs that I find it hard to write.
The funny thing is about consistency.
The more consistent you are, the more normal the activity or action you do becomes.
It becomes engrained in culture.
Consistency drives people to not see out the ordinary.
A break in the cycle drives people insane.
That’s why I think people know the blog, it’s because its expected.
If they don’t like me or what I write, it’s for them to decide.
Consistently delivering on promises.
Consistently delivering on communication.
Consistently delivering on blogs.
That’s the business I’m in.
And it’s been profitable for my writing and my mental sanity.
