Great first letter man!

I've been thinking about doing it mostly for #3 because I feel like I get so many ideas in the morning or even throughout the day before and I feel like I need to capture them and write them down so I don't forget them. Especially when they are fun project ideas that I sometimes forget to work on simply because I forgot about them.

Thanks, Adil! #3 is such an important one for me, too! I appreciate your reading.

Love it. Yeah for me I set a timer. Mentally I think knowing there is an end is easier. 1000 words can feel like a chore whereas a set time where I commit to focus is definitely easier for me. I also anchor to a song. I wrote 100,000 words for my first book draft with Change by Blind Melon on repeat. Now anytime I need to get in the mood to write I simply pop that song on. :0)

Awesome!! I've used a single song for daily to-do list organizing and currently use a single album (for the last year) when I'm working on a focus block of time. Sometimes the benefit of a short amount of time like ten minutes can be that it's a good "start" and often you'll want to keep going vs. forcing yourself to go for a longer set time. I'd be curious to see how many times you listened to Change 😅
