# The Power of the Streak
GM, I've recently been made aware of the significance of streaks (not steaks) among certain ADHD bitcoiners. We love them & we can use them to motivate us to shape our physical reality to our preferences.
Whether it's vacuuming & tidying a room, completing a word5, working out or simply going for a walk, if we do it every day for 3 days in a row, it becomes a streak. Maintaining the streak is more appealing than the task itself & any perceived benefits performing it has. The streak itself starts to have significance.
Today is my third day in a row that I've gotten up early, had a coffee & gone for a 20 min hike to view the sunrise. Sometimes it's beautiful & sometimes it's disappointing, you can't really tell until you can see a decent horizon. I'm going to use the streak as motivation to get moving because I feel so good when I start the day like this.
Your current physical state is largely shaped by the small things you do (or don't do) consistently. It's not the big, high intensity tasks, it's the small things you do every day.
**Use it to your advantage.**

Note - breaking a streak is extremely demotivating. You have to restart from scratch & often that's very difficult for an ADHD bitcoiner. Fuck you word5 - 88+ days in a row & you lost track of it. 🤣
