Slow and steady really can win the race.
We are so enamored with the big and spectacular that we overlook how the big and spectacular usually happen.
You guessed it. In slow, steady, and unspectacular ways.
Consistent and persistent pay off. Survivor got it right when they included outlast in their slogan.
A simple commitment to daily writing without concern for how much (or how little) I write has resulted in writing more in 7 weeks than I did in 2018 and 2019 combined. I’ll probably exceed my 2020 writing by the end of this month.
Do you have a big goal? Stop taking big bites and big swings at it. Start doing less at a time but do less more times, and you’ll see big dividends.
[Tweet “If you’ll start doing less at a time but do less more times, you’ll start seeing big dividends.”]Need an example? I could write one 1,000-word blog post every week and end up with 52,000 words in a year.
I could write a third less than that (300 words) more often than that (7 days a week vs. 1 day a week) and I’d end up with twice the number of words (300 × 365 = 109,500).
Get less dramatic and you’ll probably be more productive.
Do less more.
