* Build routines that still work on your worst day, not just your best one.
* Decide in advance what "good enough" looks like when your energy is low.
* Keep your standards flexible but your commitment non-negotiable.
* Notice the excuses that you frequently make because they usually follow a predictable pattern that you need to learn to break.
* Reduce the number of decisions you make daily so your goals don't compete with decision fatigue. Put your goal related habits on autopilot, ideally as early in the day as possible. You should never have to guess or ‘figure out’ what you should be doing.
* Let your goals determine your actions instead of letting your mood decide them. You don’t study because you feel like it, you study because you want to be a competent lawyer.
* Create a ‘minimum’ version of your routine that keeps your streak alive. Literally the most embarrassingly low effort task that just barely counts as doing the work. But you are indeed doing the work and you haven’t abandoned your mission, and on days like these that's all that matters. Keep moving forward even if it’s millimeter by millimeter.
* Stop checking to see if you feel like it before you do something. Who cares, just do it.
* Learn to recognize the difference between needing rest and simply seeking comfort. Half the time you take a social media break while studying isn’t because you truly needed a break, but because you are experiencing the friction of not knowing something and are retreating to something easy and comfortable.
* Pay attention to the first habit you abandon, because it often predicts what comes next. Like an evil domino falling.
* Make restarting/continuing so simple that one missed day never becomes a missed month. Remember, the itty bittiest actions can be the spark that's needed to ignite big changes. Sounds cliche but it’s true!!
* Judge each day by whether you honored your commitment, even in a lowered capacity, not whether you made jaw dropping strides.
