The problem is, doing more on some days to make up for others when you did nothing is well known not to be as effective as consistent daily progress : http://jo

- Mizza 11y agoYou can spot your own fallacy in that one..
- famousactress 11y agoYou could plausibly resolve that by tracking an accumulated measure of consistency - ie: % of past N days that you did X, where X is the daily-stable goal.
- atemerev 11y agoThe goal of reaching South Pole was time-limited. For my approach, it is _very important_ to not commit to deadlines.
- iQuercus 11y agoIt's unwise to extrapolate from one domain into another that doesn't follow the same models/rules. If I walk 20 miles and my ultimate goal is to get to 10,000 miles, then 20 miles of effort translates into 20 miles of distance covered. It's a linear one-to-one no frills relationship. The units don't even change. But if I'm doing push ups, my goal of 10,000 is actually a proxy goal for things like upper body strength and physical well being. In that context, the biological impact of 20 push ups x 3 days ≠ 60 push ups x 1 day, and no push ups the next two days.
