Erik Fisher
About this episode

In this shortcast edition of Beyond the To-Do List, Jeffrey and Jamie Downs, creators of the Streaking method and authors behind streakingmastery.com explore how laughably simple daily habits can help you build momentum, boost confidence, and turn goals into long-term identity shifts.

  • Why Simplicity Wins: Simple actions are doable even on your hardest days, ensuring consistency over time.
  • How Streaking Builds Self-Credibility: Each completed action is a commitment kept—with yourself.
  • Patience as a Superpower: Daily repetition teaches you to stop expecting overnight change and instead trust the slow, steady build.
  • The “Cal Ripken Effect”: Consistency becomes inspiring—when others notice, celebration fuels even more momentum.
  • Examples in Action: From running streaks to walking daily, small actions lead to transformation when stacked.
  • Why You Shouldn’t Skip the Walk: When life gets busy, a one-mile walk still counts—and builds your streak.

If you’ve ever struggled to maintain momentum or felt overwhelmed by ambitious goals, this episode will give you a new lens for creating daily progress that sticks.
