#515 No more, you said, no more of this

Once you’ve been writing daily for long enough, continuing to write is the easier option, more aligned with your habits and identity.

Just like for most people, it feels more natural to continue brushing their teeth every day than to skip a day.

But when you’re still building the writing habit, skipping the writing is the easier option.

Which means it shouldn’t be an option at all — until it has become an option you’re not interested in anymore.

Not taking action on your dreams won’t get you anywhere.

But taking too much action will burn you out – and won’t get you anywhere either.

In an ideal world:

• You underdo it when you feel super excited (to avoid burnout)
• You overdo it when you feel defeated (to make sure you stay on track)

Day 150: I started a podcast

First, I focused on becoming good at publishing my writing every day.

Then, I started focusing on getting better at writing—a never-ending story.

Now, 150 days later, the cycle starts over.

First, I focus on becoming good at publishing a podcast every day, narrating the daily insights from the newsletter.

And soon, I’ll start getting better at narrating the daily insights—a never-ending story.

You can do me a massive favor by subscribing to the podcast on your favorite podcast app, leaving a 5-star rating, and sharing the podcast with anyone who may find these daily reminders helpful.

The podcast schedule runs behind the newsletter schedule, so you won’t see audio narration for the newest Insights yet, but for older Insights, there’ll be audio embedded on the website.

Thanks so much for being on this journey with me!
