[1]Consistency:

    This is one of the sentences I say regularly that drives people
    crazy:

    "Consistency is great, but we don't want to be consistently wrong."

    Consistency really is great when it reinforces good habits in your
    readers (weekly newsletters, daily posts, etc.).

    It's terrible when it's used as a crutch to keep making the same
    mistakes over and over, because trying something new and different
    (or "weird") is scary. It's akin to saying, "That's how we've always
    done it," which is the last wheezing breath of a dying business.

  This is my every day - both with myself and at work.

  Take right now for instance: I am in the same local pub I visit at
  least once per week. Is it a wrong choice? Maybe.

  For work, it's a bit different. CJ's last paragraph encapsulates much
  of the institutional thinking there. There are some agents of change
  but there is far more institutional inertia that makes making the same
  mistakes not only easy but expected.
