Today is the 500th day in a row that I’ve completed at least a set (and nearly always 4 sets) of pushups. No exception, rain or shine, sick or healthy, on the ground, or in the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I started out I could barely do a single pushup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At my peak near the end of 2018 I was averaging over 150 pushups per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve tapered off since, now averaging around 40 per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been great. I’ve gotten better at pushups and, as was my original intent, started a positive trends towards investing more in my health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out, though, that pushups were only the beginning. As of today, I track 29 different habits, most of which have passed over 100 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems impressive, and over the span of a year now for many of my habits, I’m noticing real results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what’s actually important about my experience with habits and what I care to write about is how ridiculously\u00a0easy<\/em> I designed each of my habits to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re all tiny habits<\/a> and, as such, even though I still have days where I don’t want <\/em>to complete them, I do it anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

500 days of pushups is a big accomplishment for me. Yet it’s anti-climatic. I didn’t set out to get this far, I just decided that I’d pick something super easy, that I could do no matter what, and keep doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Momentum is a beautiful, powerful thing. As much as I’m sure I’ll enjoy looking back on day 1000, that’s not what matters right now. I’ll complete today’s habits and do them again tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
