Brian Johnson advises maintaining habit streaks by doing your best even when circumstances limit performance. He shares a personal example of doing a heavily modified burpee after shattering his arm to avoid breaking the streak and recommends making habits so small they are impossible to miss, enabling consistency to compound over time.
You do your best. And sometimes your best will be insanely great. Other times it will kind of suck when you are not at your best. Perfect. Do your best. The most, like Stark example for me is when I shattered my arm so, you know, I can't do a burpee. I still did a burpee. It was insanely modified. Didn't break the streak. That's one example of what the best would look like in situations in which we can't do what we really want to do. Now, the challenge is most of us, when we can't do the absolute all in. Oh my God, this is me just shining. You got to make your habits so small that you can't fail. But if your floor that you need to hit is insanely easy to hit, you don't break the street. And then consistency can work itself and you can get that exponentializing power.
