   合抱之木，生于毫末；九层之台，起于累土；千里之行，始于足下。 [1]
   This is not secret, almost everyone knows it thousand years ago,
   but most of people won't do it. Minimum effective dose is another
   way to say be consistent on thing that you feel important. The 3rd
   chapter on Atomic Habit also give a very detailed explanation.

   And it is so easy to find real word examples:

   "Mental toughness and resilience fade if they aren't used
   consistently. I say it all the time: you are either getting better,
   or you're getting worse. You're not staying the same." [2]

   "That’s often all that’s necessary to get the snowball rolling, the
   action needed to inspire the motivation to keep going. You can
   become your own source of inspiration. You can become your own
   source of motivation. Action is always within reach. And with
   simply doing something as your only metric for success—well, then
   even failure pushes you forward." [3]

   In cycling training:

   - "I have always been a really consistent rider" [4]
   - "The biggest difference in my training in in 2018 to today is
     consistency" [5]
   - "My Top 5 Tips To Increase Cycling Power: Number one is
     consistency." [6]
   - Let's finish up with the five key points to how you can improve
     your FTP. Number one, be consistent. [7]
   - I have three kind of important specs in training, so the first
     one and arguably the very most important is consistency. [8]

   But if most people agree with this idea, why not everybody do this
   way? I think is lacking a clear goal, and a good way to measure it.

   I used to be competitive as cyclist, but as I getting older, I
   start lossing this part of motivition. Nowadays, I am not training
   for FTP anymore, but training for "I don't want to make this f*k
   run in this frozen winter". I want myself to become as hard as
   Goggins.

   Life is short, what would you like to be consistent with?
