Goal

Stay consistent without restarting.

Step 1 — Define your floor

What is the smallest version of your system?

Example: 10 minutes of work.

Step 2 — Follow the “no zero days” rule

Bad day? Do the minimum.

But don’t stop completely.

Step 3 — Remove the restart trigger

Missing one day is normal.

Restarting is optional.

Step 4 — Track continuity

Focus on streak. Not perfection.
