A perseverance booster for me who can't do anything consistently!
The star of the popular "Monster Routine" reveals the art of consistency.

If you start off with great ambitions but your plans always fall through, pay attention.
The simplest habit guide has arrived for those of you who think 'doing it consistently' is the most difficult.
The author is a book designer with 20 years of experience, and is a 'master of consistency' who designs 200 books a year and maintains a daily routine of jogging for 25 years, writing a diary for 22 years, blogging for 9 years, practicing dance for 3 years, and reading a book for 3 years.
After an article about his life was published, it became a hot topic through word of mouth as a 'monster routine', and his first book, 'The Art of Consistency', immediately rose to number one in the habits category on Amazon Japan and sold over 50,000 copies.

Nowadays, it's become a given to see things through to the end, but in the past, the author, who easily gave up on anything, experimented with 'how to do it consistently' for 20 years and thoroughly designed daily habits.
As a result, I discovered that it was surprisingly simple to do consistently.
This book introduces the author's daily routine and the secrets of forming habits, and teaches methods to maintain consistency as if breathing, such as 'building a structure of habits rather than relying on willpower', 'continuing with small tasks rather than doing them properly', and 'creating sets of small tasks'.
It also covers how to reduce the pain of not wanting to do something, and how to enjoy your life.
“If you want to achieve your goals, give up your goals,” he says, breaking away from conventional wisdom and providing easy-to-understand techniques that anyone can use to become consistent.
If you are a reader who wants to make a difference this year by consistently doing at least one thing you've resolved to do every year, whether it be exercising, studying English, or reading, this book will be the perfect gift.

What revolutionizes your life is not innate talent, amazing inventions, or genius ideas, but small actions taken day after day.

People say that to achieve good results, you need to put in 'proper effort'.
It means setting clear goals and making efforts to achieve them properly.
"If you don't put in the effort, it's meaningless." Is that really true? If you put in "wrong effort," will you end up with nothing? That's impossible.
It doesn't matter if the results don't turn out the way you want.
If you do it consistently, some kind of 'change' will definitely occur.
Just believe in that fact and keep doing something consistently.

You can just divide it into as small a line as possible without trying to make it clearly conscious.
Pick up the book and open it.
This alone is really enough.
To do that, you need to place the book in a visible place.
So that the conscious desire to pick up a book naturally comes into play.
That alone is enough to get the job done.
Now, let's stop making fun of that habit and keep doing it for a month.

Things that are easy to forget when there is only one thing become difficult to forget when there are two things in a set.
If you keep your diary and thermometer in the same place, take your temperature, and then write in your diary, you can create a routine so that you don't forget and can put everything into practice.
Because if you remember one of them, the other one will come to mind automatically.
All you have to do is create a small device like this and place it so that it can be used naturally in everyday life.

You must clearly define 'when'.
You just need to decide specifically on the timing, whether it's 'after' doing what you always do, or 'along with' what you always do.
Rather than setting a time like “I have to do it at this time,” it is much more specific and realistic to think of it as the before and after of an action.

--- p.95

Things you do consistently become more enjoyable when you keep a record of them.
Collecting things like books, comics, games, plastic models, idol goods, and movie-related merchandise is a lot of fun.
People diligently collect things they like and fill their shelves with their favorite items.
The more things I like, the more my heart fills with joy.
Collecting is such a joyful and enjoyable thing.
So to speak, recording is an act of making consistency into a kind of collection.

How can we evoke the desire to do something? They say the desire to do something simply arises when you "do it."
It's written like that in a brain science book.
The desire to do something, the will, is something that will not arise if you do not do it.
If you want to have the ‘will to do something’, you have no choice but to ‘do it’.
It is truly an eternal paradox.
So let's just take the first step.
Don't try, don't overthink, just try it.
That alone is enough.
If there is a 'motivation switch', it might be 'pretending to do it'.
I don't have the resolve to do everything right.
Just pretending.

‘Seeing things through to the end’ is a series of ‘small endings’.
When consistency becomes natural, everything happens naturally.
‘Seeing it through to the end’ becomes a given.

Since it doesn't seem to bear fruit, I start to wonder what I'm doing all this for.
“I wonder if there’s any point to this?” It’s starting to feel more and more stupid.
'It doesn't increase at all, I don't know why I'm doing it.
Should we stop now…?'
With that thought in mind, I ended up quitting.
It's a common occurrence.
So, how about first trying to distance yourself from those very thoughts? 'My skills will improve,' 'I'll achieve something,' 'something good will happen.'
Let's give up the idea that we can achieve such things through consistent effort.
It's about stopping the idea that you have to aim for some 'goal'.

--- p.168

Cleaning gets better and books get better.
Things I didn't like became good.
What on earth could it have been for?
What could have been there?
“I took my time.” Isn’t that it?
I came to like it because I spent time with it and kept seeing it every day.
