four quadrant habits

saw this explained online in a much more hokey way but the concept behind it was so insightful.

much like “what’s today’s version of being ____?” identity-based habits, this idea works on cultivating consistency.

think of four quadrants - each representing a spectrum of easy day to hard day and low motivation to high motivation.

if you can fit your habit on these spectrums and do a version of your goal relative to these ranges, you will never “miss” a day. just adjust to what life has thrown at you and how your body is feeling that day.
