How Five Minutes a Day Helped Me Keep My Quiet Time

My quiet time used to follow the same pattern every year. I would make a big plan to spend an hour each morning, but by the second week I had stopped. Guilt would follow, and then I would abandon it completely. What changed for me was making it too small to fail. I now start with five minutes: one short passage and one line to carry into the day. On days when I have more time, it naturally grows, but the five-minute habit stays consistent. I also follow two simple rules: never miss twice, and attach quiet time to something I already do. For me, it comes before my first coffee. Short and daily has worked better for me than long and rare. What helps you stay consistent?
