How Can Inconsistent Consistency Help With Long-Term Success?

Most of us think of becoming entrepreneurs or starting a dedicated hobby. Still, we often need help to consistently stick to it or make a routine because of distractions, laziness, and lack of motivation. This is one of the common problems we face during our adult years.

My personal experience has taught me that sticking to a task for an extended period necessitates determination rather than consistent efforts.

Why Choose Creativity Waves over Consistency?

Sometimes consistency is overrated. It is an overused term where people ask you to deliver consistently or to be in "go mode" all the time and complete the tasks by meeting the deadlines.

Deadlines are for machines, not humans. If you really want to create something from your mind and bring it into the real world, it requires something called "creativity."

Creativity is a wave. It ebbs and flows from time to time. A person who understands this wave structure and follows it has a higher chance of pursuing a goal and sticking to it for the long haul.

When you are inconsistently consistent and apply this method to your most important goal in life, you will find it easy to continue doing for a long time without putting yourself under massive pressure, fears, or stress.

You will have a period where you are at your creative best. You can be in a state of flow while concentrating on an important task. Flow with it.

Let this be when you can finish the blueprint, design a video, write four or five blog posts, or do anything else. You can schedule these projects and use them later.

Most of us think that the energy, concentration, and creativity we could generate during a particular wave of our life will also be consistent the next day.

Because we were able to complete a massive task in one day doesn't mean that the same will repeat for you, and accepting this is the only thing that will help you stay determined.

You will get this creativity wave again, but only after a while. You may need a break for a day, and then once you focus on something else, you will get the creativity or the motivation to work on this project again. The key to long-term success is the motivation to stick with a goal in your life and pursue it harder.

Instead of exhausting yourself by constantly being in "go mode," try to dip in and out of this creative wave by being consistent but inconsistent.

Work with your mind, energy, and emotional state regularly in your life. It is easier to stick with a goal even when the situations are tricky because you will understand that you will get the creative wave again sometime, and taking a gap or missing out for a few days will not demotivate you in any way.

Be determined and creative to pursue your long-term goals in life.
