3 Quick Thoughts: Momentum Over Intensity
January 27, 2026 - Caffeine Tuesdays
Every Tuesday, I pour a shot of clarity into your day. I call them Caffeine Tuesdays. 3 ideas, 3 insights, 3 quick thoughts. And this is for you.
Small steps beat big bursts
Intensity feels exciting. It gives you a rush, a sense of possibility. But intensity burns out fast. Momentum doesn’t.
Momentum is built through small, repeatable actions that don’t drain you. It’s the quiet force that carries you forward long after motivation fades.
Choose the action you can sustain, not the one that impresses people.
Consistency is a form of self‑respect
Every time you show up, even for five minutes, you’re proving something to yourself. You’re saying, “I keep my promises. I follow through.”
That builds confidence in a way intensity never can. Intensity is loud. Consistency is honest.
Let your identity be shaped by what you do regularly, not what you do dramatically.
Momentum compounds in ways intensity never will
A single intense effort might move you forward today. But momentum stacks. It multiplies. It turns small wins into real change.
You don’t need to sprint. You just need to keep moving. Slow progress is still progress. And slow progress, repeated, becomes transformation.
Protect your momentum. It’s worth more than any burst of intensity.
See you next Tuesday.
