1
00:00:00,119 --> 00:00:01,953
Here are some things I don't want to

2
00:00:01,953 --> 00:00:04,264
do. I don't wanna get up at 5AM.

3
00:00:05,141 --> 00:00:07,533
I don't wanna spend 5 minutes and 50

4
00:00:07,533 --> 00:00:08,011
degree water.

5
00:00:08,903 --> 00:00:11,615
Hustle 50 hours a week, time block my

6
00:00:11,615 --> 00:00:14,407
calendar, so I can squeeze every second of

7
00:00:14,407 --> 00:00:15,603
productivity out of my day.

8
00:00:16,481 --> 00:00:18,076
Drink green juice at 7AM.

9
00:00:18,649 --> 00:00:19,843
Or do 75 hard.

10
00:00:20,798 --> 00:00:23,106
But speaking of hard, here's how I do

11
00:00:23,106 --> 00:00:23,505
hard stuff,

12
00:00:24,460 --> 00:00:25,893
a little bit at a time.

13
00:00:26,704 --> 00:00:27,263
I iterate.

14
00:00:28,061 --> 00:00:30,057
I take what I did, and I try

15
00:00:30,057 --> 00:00:31,573
to make it a little bit better as

16
00:00:31,653 --> 00:00:31,972
I go.

17
00:00:32,851 --> 00:00:34,687
By way of example, I've been working on

18
00:00:34,687 --> 00:00:36,774
a new book, for about 6 months now.

19
00:00:37,650 --> 00:00:39,799
Each chapter is a page or so.

20
00:00:40,675 --> 00:00:41,869
I write a chapter day,

21
00:00:42,586 --> 00:00:43,302
sometimes more,

22
00:00:44,034 --> 00:00:45,153
sometimes a little less.

23
00:00:46,032 --> 00:00:47,390
If I miss a day, that's okay.

24
00:00:48,109 --> 00:00:49,787
I simply begin again the next day.

25
00:00:50,507 --> 00:00:51,625
I take a look at what I've written,

26
00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:54,189
and I try to make my storytelling a

27
00:00:54,189 --> 00:00:56,258
little bit better as I write the next

28
00:00:56,258 --> 00:00:56,496
chapter.

29
00:00:57,372 --> 00:00:59,281
In a week or so, it'll be done.

30
00:01:00,091 --> 00:01:01,441
Maybe they'll take a little bit longer. I

31
00:01:01,441 --> 00:01:02,076
don't really know.

32
00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:05,014
But I'm enjoying the process of writing it.

33
00:01:05,967 --> 00:01:07,181
It's the progress

34
00:01:07,808 --> 00:01:10,373
and the writing of the chapters and iteration

35
00:01:10,747 --> 00:01:13,130
that is more satisfying than actually finishing the

36
00:01:13,130 --> 00:01:13,289
book.

37
00:01:14,401 --> 00:01:17,023
So it's okay to go slow.

38
00:01:18,075 --> 00:01:18,795
To not rush,

39
00:01:19,754 --> 00:01:20,795
be kind to yourself.

40
00:01:22,474 --> 00:01:25,275
For me, the enjoyment is in writing the

41
00:01:25,275 --> 00:01:27,114
book, not finishing the book.
