Make things better by making better things.
Sometimes we make the gap to becoming an expert so large that we can never cross it. But it doesn’t have to be that big of a bridge to cross.
If you simply dedicate the next 100 days in doing something creative, what would happen?
Produce 100 blog posts and a few good ones that you are proud of will surface. Create podcasts or oil paintings or notes on a music sheet, same story.
Once we ship creative work for 100 days in a row, that’s sufficient in telling ourselves a different story. One that says that we belong–it is a skill that each of us can learn.
And the other side effect is a run. When we start a run of sitting at the computer and writing a blog post every day (just like going to the gym for 3 months straight) it is powerful enough to create a habit.
“Well, of course, I need to sit down and write again today, I am on day 1,750. I don’t want to break my streak.”
It works to shed the excuses.
