What’s working for me right now 👉
Hey Reader,
Since I broke my ankle last year, I’ve had a difficult time finding my way back into a regular exercise routine.
I’ve tried a LOT of things that haven’t worked well, but for the past month, I’ve just been writing down what I’ve done.
Seeing this list, I can feel sort of a pull. I don’t want to let it (or myself) down by writing none for a few days in a row.
It got me thinking that if you’re trying to work on your product, you could:
- Plan ahead of time, like with this Google Sheet. Then track progress towards your goal.
- Skip the plan and just write down what you’re doing in pursuit of a goal. Maybe by seeing it all in one place, you’ll see that you’re actually making progress and want to keep going.
- Put some urgency behind it. Both Samantha and Liz had similar stories where something else was happening and they had to create a product fast.
What do you think might work for you?
And while you’re thinking about it, check out the episodes that dropped in May 🌺
