The Power of Bright Lines: How 100% Decisions Forge Consistency and ConfidenceThe Trap of Fuzzy Goals

We’ve all been there. January rolls around, and we declare: “This year, I’m going to get in shape.” For a week or two, we go to the gym, skip dessert, maybe even buy some overpriced supplements. Then, life creeps in. Work gets busy, a vacation derails the routine, and suddenly we’re back where we started.

Why?

Because most resolutions are not decisions. They’re fuzzy lines—vague intentions like “eat fewer carbs” or “spend less time on my phone.” They sound reasonable, but fail in execution because they’re negotiable.

A fuzzy line means your brain is forced into constant debate. “Does this bread count as ‘fewer carbs’? What about the fries if I skip dessert?” That negotiation is exhausting. And when you’re tired, stressed, or distracted, the negotiation almost always ends with compromise.

The solution: Bright Lines.
