Streaks

On day two of a skiing streak. The latest start to any skiing streak I've had in the last 30+ years (that may be a bit of a guess)- but a start regardless. 

I like streaks, they hold me accountable. Sort of. The issue is getting the streak going. I was on a great plant based diet streak for months. Then I fell off and have struggled to get it going again.

At one point I was on a streak of writing everyday- maybe this post is the start of a writing streak.

Streaks work because they require you to make a habit. The first week or two can be tough- but once you get going they can be easy to maintain. What is hard is that first time you let yourself off the hook- because then the streak is over, and then you're at the start again. 

Some streaks I want to get back on:

Plant based.

Skiing.

Writing.

Reading.

 

I'll keep you posted.
