279 Days to Overnight Success
The reason why it’s so important to maintain the schedule is because of
my own weakness.
I know if I missed a day and nothing happened, then it would be much
easier to miss another day. Pretty soon I wouldn’t have much of a schedule,
and then I’d have less motivation. It’s a downward spiral that I want
to avoid, so I keep the schedule sacred.
These two tactics have helped me; feel free to steal them:
The 1k Words Requirement.
As a writer, my goal is to write 1,000 words every day, six days a week.
I do a lot of different kinds of writing, so sometimes I need to do more
than 1,000 words — but if I don’t get the 1,000 words done, I won’t be
happy with myself. Naturally, if your medium is different, then the 1k
words requirement needs to be adapted to the outputs you create.
Some people may be uncomfortable with linking productivity to emotional
wellbeing as closely as I do. I say, hey, do whatever works for you.
If inspiration comes your way, it’s in your best interest not to question it
