consistent
Describes a person or action that follows a plan or principle logically and without deviation. It means being determined and steady.
Sie hat ihre Entscheidung konsequent umgesetzt, auch als es schwierig wurde.
She carried out her decision consistently, even when it became difficult.
'Konsequent' (consistent) is the adjective related to the noun 'die Konsequenz' (consequence). To act 'konsequent' means to act in a way that leads to a logical result, a consequence, that corresponds to a principle.
Die Konsequenz seines Handelns war ihm nicht bewusst.
He was not aware of the consequence of his actions.
'Konsequent' (consistently) is very often used as an adverb to describe how an action is carried out. It then remains unchanged after the verb.
Sie verfolgt ihre Ziele sehr konsequent.
She pursues her goals very consistently.
Common combinations are 'einen Plan konsequent verfolgen' (to pursue a plan consistently), 'eine Regel konsequent anwenden' (to apply a rule consistently), or 'bei seiner Meinung konsequent bleiben' (to stick consistently to one's opinion).
Trotz Kritik blieb er konsequent bei seiner Entscheidung.
Despite criticism, he consistently stuck to his decision.
logical
'konsequent' and 'logisch' both have to do with consistency or logical coherence. 'logisch' is used when a thought, explanation, or decision is coherent and reasonable. 'konsequent' is used when someone stays true to a plan, rule, or principle and does not deviate from it. They can be confused because both can mean that things 'fit together'. In practice: a justification is 'logisch'; behavior over a longer period of time is 'konsequent'.
Mein Vater bleibt konsequent und kauft keine Süßigkeiten vor dem Abendessen.
My father stays consistent and doesn't buy any sweets before dinner.
