I struggled to stay consistent with healthy habits for years until I discovered the 2-day rule. The rule is simple. Never allow yourself to skip two days in a row. This rule helped me put on 20 lbs of muscle over a few years, build a workout habit that I stuck with for a decade, and it might even add years to my life, unless I get hit by a bus first. So, let's first talk about what makes rules
so effective. You see, our brains are really good at thinking, but they are terrible at remembering. A system like this removes the need for constant decision-m. Before this rule, I'd make excuses. I had a busy schedule. I had finals. I was hung over. But once I committed to never skipping two days in a row, everything changed. Even if I just did 10 minutes of cardio, I kept the habit alive. And this doesn't just apply to fitness.
This rule can be used for anything. Writing, meditating. If you have the time, this rule is great. If you're a busy parent like me, you might want to set the bar a little bit lower. Maybe it's the 3-day rule instead.
