Your consistency usually starts falling apart days before you notice, and it almost always starts with something small you stop doing. In this episode: the Jenga demonstration from my Boston training, how to spot your earliest signs of a wobble, the one question to ask before you give yourself a pass, and how to find the few things that rebuild everything else.

Insights to Save

I collect insights like these in my Insight Library, so the right one is there when I need it. If you're collecting them too, here are a few from this episode to add to yours:

• Nothing falling apart doesn't mean nothing happened.
• The same excuse costs more when your tower already has holes in it.
• Before you give yourself a pass, ask: how strong is the base right now?
• Your wobble almost always starts with something small you stop doing.
• Not knowing the data doesn't change the reality. It just makes it easier to ignore.
• You don't need 20 things to go back to. You need your big three.
• Protect the woman you want to be.
