Do one in a row

I’ve written and sent 139 Daily Discipline messages so far this year. 400 total since I started on Jan 1, 2018. In addition to every blog, video, podcast, and social post. While operating as a CEO, husband, and dad. Viewed as a whole, it feels overwhelming, even to me. The reason I produce at this rate and volume is due to my focus: Do one in a row.

    1. I write one message at a time. All my attention is on the one I’m writing today. Rarely beyond than the next 2-3. Never the next 10.
    2. Each moment of writing is its own world. I only think about doing a good job with this next sentence, this paragraph.
    3. “How can I keep this up?” is not something I ask myself. “How do I make this message worth my readers’ time and attention?” is my thought when I touch a keyboard.
    4. If I can do one in a row, which I always can, I can do this for the rest of my life.

Embrace the chase. Do the work.
