The Structure Spectrum: Finding Your Balance Between Rigid and Flexible

How to design discipline that holds steady, without breaking under pressure.

Discipline often gets framed as two extremes:

• Be rigid and strict, never miss a day, no excuses.

• Or stay flexible, adjust, flow, and trust you’ll get back on track.

But here’s the problem: if you lean too hard in either direction, you lose balance.
Rigid discipline burns you out.
Flexible discipline leaves you drifting.

The truth is, you need both.
And the key is finding where you sit on the Structure Spectrum.
