My whole life I've been obsessed with the idea of optimizing my productivity. But, despite my best efforts I just can't ever seem to stick to a system. Listen, it's not without trying. Name a productivity framework...any of 'em. I've tried it. ...12 week year? Yep. ...Michael Hyatt's Full Focus Planner? Yep. ...Getting Things Done? Sure The list goes on and on. But, the same thing happens. every. time. I stick with it feverishly for a month MAYBE two. Then I quit. Cold turkey. Maybe all the other people who have figured it out don't have kids? don't have ADHD? are superhuman? I have no clue, but it's not something my brain has been able to solve. The whole cycle leaves me feeling super frustrated like I'm destined to a life of moderate to low levels of output. But, just this past year I've noticed something that has changed the game for me. In June, I set out to start writing 1,000 words a day. That might sound like a lot, but, hear me out, my problem has NEVER BEEN not having enough words to say. Nope. Just the opposite. Give me a topic and tell me I've only got 500 characters and I would immediately start to panic. Knowing how all of my past attempts at sticking to something have ended in failure after only a few months, I decided to approach this differently. I was going to make the "rules" for this venture really, REALLY simple. First, I knew that if I made the criteria to be "write a 1,000 words every day without missing a day," once I missed ONE DAY I'd instantly feel unmotivated and likely give up. I'm known to have a string of a few unproductive days followed by a string of hyper productive days. So, I made the guideline general. Instead of writing 1,000 words a day, it's write 5,000 words a week. (I gave myself weekends off =F0=9F=98=89) And, I didn't force myself to do it at a certain time. No, strict guidelines. No get up at 5:30am every day and instantly start scribbling down thoughts. Just get it done. However and whenever you want. That could mean I write a full 5,000 words on Friday. OR it could mean I write 700 words here, 600 words there until it all equals out to 5,000. Here's the crazy thing: I've stuck with it. For nearly 7 months now. I hardly ever stick to a new habit for 7 months. The even crazier thing: I'm not just writing 5,000 words a week. It's more like 7,000 or 8,000. How is that possible? I figured out a way to make writing a normal rhythm of my life NOT just a todo item I need to check off. Writing is just what I do. It's as much a part of me as waking up and making coffee (read: pre-order my coffee and pick it up on my way to work) So, here's my encouragement to you. Rather than try to think through all the things you'd like to get done, think through the kinds of rhythms you'd like to create for your life. Then make some really, really simple rules around baking those rhythms into your every day life. We all have stuff we "know we should be doing" we just can't seem to get ourselves to do. If that's not you, please reply back to the secret to life. I'd love to know your ways. But, maybe, remove that false guilt from expectations we all seem to collectively agree upon but aren't in any way shape or form required to adhere to ...and decide what's important to you. Maybe, in business, you really value relationships. Make a rhythm to reach out to 5 people (colleagues, past clients, old coworkers) every week to check in and see how they're doing. Maybe, in life, it's to spend at least 10 minutes a day of focused attention with each of your kids. Take what's important and turn it into a rhythm that's easy for you to adopt. Your guidelines could be like mine OR they could be totally different. No one knows yourself better than you. One of my favorite books about creative work is "The War of Art."

But, equally, we're all met with "a resistance" that tries to keep us from doing that very thing. Maybe, like me, you've gone through your fair share of productivity frameworks and like me have ended up quitting after a time. But, no matter, what...don't give into the resistance. Keep fighting. Keep working and figure out some rhythms that will help you overcome them.
