The principle evolved one step further:
Every day, protect the identity.
Every week, advance the outcome.
Finish what you started, and keep it once you've got it.
This addition addressed another common pattern.
People frequently reach a goal temporarily and then abandon the behaviors that produced it.
Adaptive Training therefore treats maintenance as part of completion.
The methodology is not intended only to help someone reach a target.
It should help them become capable of sustaining that target.
