Question: How can we stay consistent?

Answer: Practice the three threes

Three priorities for the week
Three actions per day
Three people to encourage

The method

Keep your week narrow. Choose three priorities only. Every morning, pick three actions that move those priorities forward. Before you wrap the day, encourage three people. Your energy rises, your network strengthens, and your results compound.

Quick start checklist

Write the three weekly priorities where you will see them
Block thirty to sixty minutes early for your three actions
Set a five-minute reminder to encourage three people before the day ends

Business use

Priority: grow revenue, improve delivery, strengthen team
Actions: send one proposal, close one open task, coach one teammate

Life use

Priority: health, family, spiritual life
Actions: walk for twenty minutes, family dinner, ten minutes of prayer or reflection

Keep it going, from Alvin Barnes Jackson, Mississippi

End each day with a two-minute review. What did I finish? What will I do tomorrow? Who will I encourage next?

Stay patient. Consistency is not about big bursts. It is about small wins stacked over time.
