Why getting any old words down is important.

Howdy Reader! I have a freelance newsletter client. It's a weekly newsletter I put together for him. He reached out to me because he's got so much work, he needs to delegate. It's a great position to be in. One of my measures of success for this arrangement is that I save him time. He's buying his time back by paying me to write his newsletter. If I'm not saving him time, I'm not earning my keep. For a bit, I was concerned because he was rewriting a lot of what I gave him. I got feedback and told him of my concern. His answer surprised me: "Oh, you're saving me a ton of time." Wait, what?! You rewrote this entire piece I sent you, I told him. He told me that it only takes him a few minutes, maybe up to 20 minutes, to get what he wants after seeing what I wrote. Otherwise, it would have been two hours or more. That, I guess, is the advantage of having something written in front of you, rather than a blank screen. It's a lot faster to edit something than it is to create something, apparently.

Howdy Reader! Yesterday I mentioned that my downfall was TikTok. Scrolling on TikTok was the start of a wasted evening. So I uninstalled TikTok on my phone to prevent me from taking that road at least. Well, good news: tonight was a bit more productive. I wouldn't say that I got a lot more done, but there was more quality time. I was more present in the time after dinner, rather than scrolling on TikTok. And afterwards, when I went to work, I got started earlier. So not a home run, but I...
Howdy Reader! I saw when and where my downfall happened tonight. That time and place when my productivity went out the window. I came home with such good intentions. I had made a list of things to do so I'd be better prepared for tomorrow morning. Boiled some eggs Got the coffee maker ready Cleaned out my lunch bag of the containers I brought into work today Prepared some rice for my leftover stir-fry Tomorrow morning's going to be easy to get ready. Then I opened up TikTok on my phone after...
Howdy Reader! If you're on a creator journey, it's a great thing. Having written, recorded, and so forth for 20+ years, I've learned a couple of things about progress. First: Do the work. There is no other trick. Second: Don't stop for any substantial length of time. It's doubly hard to get started again. After a break, old habits set in and take root. It makes the journey harder for no good reason. Sure, there are reasons for stopping that may be out of your control. But it's far better to...
