A rule to live by

Learned this from Sahil Bloom

I missed sending an email yesterday.

Now, when stuff like this happened in the past where I fell of the wagon, I would spiral from there.

In this case, I broke my every-weekday-email-for-10-weeks string.

But I’m not going to let it get me down.

Why?

Well, dear reader, because I have adopted this mental framework in the past year.

It’s useful for:

  • Staying consistent in the gym

  • Losing weight and hitting macro/calorie numbers

  • Getting new business with consistent outreach, etc

So, what is it?

Glad you asked…

It’s called The Rule of 2.

The Rule of 2

I learned this from Sahil Bloom’s newsletter. Not sure who came up with it, but it’s super powerful.

The idea is this:

You can skip 1 day, but not 2 days in a row.

So I missed yesterday writing my email, but that is ok. I just can’t miss today.

I missed yesterday’s workout. That’s ok, I just can’t miss today.

The reason that it’s so effective is that it gives you some wiggle room.

Life happens. Things come up. You’ll miss a day.

That’s ok.

Just don’t miss 2 days in a row.

Cheers,

Swanagan
