Episode 76: How to Stay Consistent Through the Holidays (Don't Wait for January)
5m | Nov 1, 2026It's almost November, and a lot of people are about to say the same thing: "I'll just start in January." The holidays are busy, so waiting for a clean start feels easier. But January is busy too, and by the time you start, you've lost two months.
In this episode, I talk about how to keep your goals going through the holidays at a level you can actually hold, so January isn't a restart. I also share how I hit the 1,000 lb club and ran 100 miles in a month on my last deployment, when there was no quiet season to wait for.
What we cover:
- Why waiting for January usually backfires
- Shrinking your goal instead of stopping it
- Deciding your bad-day version before the bad day shows up
- What to control when you can't do the main thing
- Finding the time nobody's asking for
- What to do when you miss a day
This week: pick the goal you were about to push to January. Write down a small version you can keep through the holidays, plus your bad-day minimum. Then do the small version this week.
