Daniel Clough credits seven foundational health habits for turning impressive weeks from rare to routine. He used to need perfect conditions to hit half his current output. Now consistency comes from automatic habits, not willpower.
I still get a bit blown away when I look at what I get done in a typical week now. And the crazy thing is this: these kind of weeks are pretty normal for me now. Now, I'm not saying it's easy. There was quite a lot there. But also, it's generally not hard for me to sustain weeks like this anymore. And that wasn't the case a few years ago. Back then, I would have been lucky to hit even half of that, and only if everything lined up perfectly. So what changed? Well, no surprise, I built 7 foundational health habits into my life, and they made all of the difference. These habits are what makes this level of consistency feel automatic now. And like I said before, it's not about willpower or being fired up. It's about the fact that those habits built capability and discipline for me, and that capability and discipline was built slowly and deliberately over time.
