#76 Build Discipline by Starting Small
ByLukasThe trick to building discipline: stick to your projects more often than you quit, so your actions start overruling self-defeating thoughts.
So how make sure you stick to more of your projects and habits
Make them feasible. Start small.
Write a couple of sentences in your journal every day.
Write short articles.
Walk for 5 minutes.
Do 2 minutes of breathing exercises.
In the long run, you’ll probably have to build up volume and intensity. But first, start small. Build trust of completion. Become disciplined.

ByLukasIf doing your Tiny Trust Builder feels impossible today, it’s not tiny enough.
Write one paragraph, not one blog post.
Write one sentence, not one paragraph.
Write one word, not one sentence.
Write one letter, not one word.

Think smaller, until you notice the insurmountable suddenly feels achievable.
#38 Regret, worry, forget
ByLukasWe regret the past, worry about the future, and forget about the now.
What if I:
- learn from and let go of the past
- create an empowering vision of the future, informed by your imagination AND lessons of the past
- act in the now, confident that every action you take brings you closer towards that vision
To let go of the past:
- Write Morning Pages – Stream of Consciousness journaling
- Did I give it my all? Whether my actions were aligned or misguided, did I go for it 100%?
- Did I allow myself to learn something and see the silver lining?
To create a future with fewer worries:
- Write Morning Pages – Stream of Consciousness journaling
- Develop trust in yourself and your good intentions
To be in the moment:
- Write Morning Pages – Stream of Consciousness journaling
- Breathe
- Walk in nature
- Create something
- Talk… and listen
The constant: write Morning Pages.
#443 Be consistent with the how, not the what
ByLukasIf you’re curious about one topic, you can stay curious, even if your interests change over time.
If you’re kind to one person, you can stay kind when talking to other people.
If you showed leadership in your last job, you can show leadership in your new job.
You can be consistent in how you do things, without having to be consistent in what you do.
#345 Why being good isn’t relevant
ByLukasPeople can think you’re not good at writing, and you can still write – and love it.
You can think you’re not good at writing, and you can still write – and love it.
You can think you’ll never be good at writing, and you can still write – and love it.
Because whether you’re good at something or not is nowhere nearly as relevant as how fulfilled it makes you feel.
