The Lazy People’s Guide to Building a Daily Writing Habit

One of the most valuable skills and most powerful habits is writing.

Here is how to write every day for people who struggle with daily habits:

1. Set the bar incredibly low.

2. Track your progress.

3. Make a plan in advance.

4. Set a writing cue.

5. Reward yourself.

6. Commit to the process for at least 90 days in a row.

7. You must be dedicated to writing every day.

8. Set up a daily reminder system.

9. Tell people about it.

10. Fall in love with it.

This is how I make writing a thing I just do every day - like, no big deal. Like brushing my teeth.

I don’t think about it anymore, I just sit down and do it without thinking about it.
