[Method] The Two-Day Rule (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 8 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Here's a method that is often overlooked that helps me keep my habits and discipline in check. We're all not perfect and we live busy lives. With these busy lives sometimes comes missing a day of our well-intentioned routines. It's easy to fall into the trap of "well, I already missed yesterday, so what's one more day?" But that's where the Two-Day Rule has been a game-changer for me.
The Two-Day Rule is simple: never miss your habit twice. Life happens, and missing a day is not the end of the world, but the key is to not let it spill into the next day. This approach has helped me maintain consistency in my routines, from exercise to learning new skills, without the guilt that often comes with a streak lost.

Here's how I do it. The first thing I do is bullet journal on a daily basis. I pint point 4-5 of the most important tasks of my day....At the end of the day, I'll review my journal. If I don't get every task done I'll put an arrow in the box... that means it has to go over to the next page.

The tasks that I happen to miss will be first on my list the following day with an asterisk added. This means I missed it the day before and it's a high priority task.

Hope this helps.
