Thanks for the mention Alyssa and awesome article.
When it comes to consistency, it's not about a "daily" consistency, but and one that fits your needs.
This can be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and yes even yearly. Just set it for yourself, and you will see it becomes easier.
Pick a day to write and a fixed day to publish.

That’s great advice Chris Bongers. Thank you for providing that insight!
Now that I’m wrapping up the #2Articles1Week challenge I will be figuring out what kind of publishing schedule works best for me. So this advice is coming at a great time. Thanks again!

This is the 5th time I'm hearing about that book this week. I've got to read it.

It’s a really good book and I would definitely recommend reading it! I’m thinking of writing a book review style blog on that so if that sounds interesting let me know.

This post was fun to read. I enjoyed it.
Having a different opinion on different matters is what drive to reading blogs.
Consistency is key, but it takes a tremendous amount of time.
When do you draw the line between consistency and quality?

Glad you enjoyed it! That’s a great question you asked. Although I think it’s important to be consistent to build up the habit of writing regularly, I don’t think it should come at the cost of quality. It’s not about just writing to meet a certain quota.
The main reason I mentioned being consistent is because I wanted to get into the routine of writing regularly and I found committing to two articles a week to be helpful and maintainable for me. But we all have busy lives that can make that difficult at times.
Ultimately, it’s whatever works best for you and your schedule and how often you want to commit to writing.
