The Biggest Challenge I’ll Face in the Next Six Months: Staying Consistent on Just One or Two Things

Over the past few months, I’ve developed a habit of writing consistently, something I once struggled with. It’s been rewarding, but as I look ahead to the next six months, I realize my biggest challenge won’t be starting new habits—it’ll be sticking with just one or two.

I have a tendency to explore multiple interests at once, jumping from one thing to another. I love variety, but I also know that real progress comes from focused, sustained effort. Whether it’s writing, playing basketball, or even gaming, the temptation to spread my time across too many things could slow me down.

The Struggle of Focus

The difficulty isn’t in working hard—I can do that. The challenge is in choosing what to focus on and resisting the urge to chase something new just because it’s exciting in the moment. I’ve seen how consistency pays off in my writing, and I want that same momentum in other areas. But committing to just one or two things means saying no to a lot of other possibilities, and that’s never easy.

Why It Matters

I know that if I can stay locked in, I’ll see real growth. Whether it’s writing more polished pieces, improving my basketball game, or deepening my creative process, consistency will be the key. There’s power in repetition, in showing up day after day and building on previous efforts. If I can narrow my focus and stay disciplined, the results will be worth it.

My Plan to Stay Consistent

To take on this challenge, I need a clear plan:

1. Pick my top two priorities – Instead of juggling everything, I’ll commit to the two things that mean the most right now.


2. Set daily and weekly goals – Having clear, small milestones will keep me accountable and motivated.


3. Track my progress – Whether it’s a journal, an app, or a simple checklist, I’ll document my consistency to stay on track.


4. Resist distractions – When the urge to start something new arises, I’ll remind myself why I’m staying the course.


5. Embrace the process – Some days will feel slow, and that’s okay. Progress isn’t always visible in the moment, but over time, it adds up.



The Challenge Is Worth It

Six months from now, I want to look back and see the impact of sticking with my chosen priorities. The challenge of staying consistent on just one or two things won’t be easy, but it’s exactly what I need to take my growth to the next level.

Until next time…
