50 words

17 January 2022 · 1 min read

That’s all it takes.

I’ve been aiming to write 50 words each morning. Even I can do that… and that’s the point.

All my life I thought I needed to aim high. But aiming high just made me feel like I couldn’t do it, like it was too hard. I mean… who can make a full completed perfect thing on their first try?

I’ve done this with everything. Writing code. Selling websites, Making music. Exercising. Tidying up FFS… and the list goes on.

Turns out I just needed to be able to motivate myself to start. 50 words, that’s all.

So, what else can I apply this to:

A 2 minute jog around the block that I’m on.

Write 5 lines of code a day.

Do 1 marketing activity a day.

Make a 2 bar drum loop.

2 minutes of tidying up before bed.

Read one page of a book.

1 social media post.

1 cold email.

1 meal a day.

Anyone can do this.

Thank you James Clear.
