In her Digital Garden, Rachel offers an important reminder, it’s OK to lower the bar. As someone who has mixed success with using streaks as a motivational tool, I can relate. Sometimes we just need to do enough to keep the streak going.
“I had to remind myself that it’s okay to lower the bar. That an average version of something is better than a perfect version of nothing. All I can do is have a go.”
I’ve also learned, despite the somewhat traumatic experience of losisng streaks that are thousands of days old, it is also OK to give ourselves a break. Taking a conscious break is not the same as giving up.
