Courage is the Key to Creative Consistency // Day 6 of 365

Courage is the Key to Creative Consistency // Day 6 of 365

At the heart of lasting achievement lies the deceptively simple yet profound act of showing up—day after day, regardless of circumstance. On Day Six of the 365 Day Consistency Project, we dive deep into the productivity principles that transform scattered efforts into meaningful progress.

We explore Brian Tracy's powerful book "Eat That Frog," unpacking strategies that revolutionize daily productivity. The concept is brilliantly straightforward: identify your biggest, ugliest, most difficult task—your "frog"—and tackle it first thing each day. By confronting what you're most likely to procrastinate on, you create unstoppable momentum while simultaneously addressing your highest-value activities.

The 6P formula (Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance) serves as our productivity compass, revealing how just 10-12 minutes of intentional planning saves up to two hours of execution time. Even more striking is the 80-20 rule—the Pareto Principle—which teaches us that 20% of our activities yield 80% of our results. By identifying and prioritizing these high-impact tasks, we stop spinning our wheels on busy work that feels productive but doesn't move us toward our most important goals.

Throughout the episode, I weave my personal journey from "Hood2Hooded"—from growing up in an underserved community without familial college experience to becoming a practicing dentist. This path illustrates how long-term vision shapes daily decisions, even without having a clear roadmap provided by those who came before us.

The most profound revelation? Creativity requires courage—the courage to show up consistently, to be authentic, to start from zero, and to work through difficulties. While many merely consume content, true growth comes from having the bravery to create, to contribute, to put yourself out there consistently.
