> As for the article, any commitments on the diet front? Do you find if you commit to too many new routines (gym, eating, sleeping, working, being productive) you run out of will-power-gas before the day is out, making it harder to pickup the commitments the following day?
I've found setting a 70% success target across all active goals is a good way to keep growing without getting complacent or overwhelmed.
If I'm succeeding above 70% consistently at all my current goals, targets, and routines, I add new things or increase the difficulty.
If I'm below 70% for a couple weeks in a row, I scale back and get back to fundamentals.
This is also good for getting more comfortable with failure, since I'm constantly falling short on my new initiatives, and stay towards the edge of my growth potential. 70% I picked arbitrarily, but it's pretty good - it means I'm succeeding at over 2 out of 3 things I do, which is good for motivation/momentum, but it isn't so high that I have to set goals too cautiously to reach the mark.
