You may have noticed that I’m posting on the blog every day, and counting the days. This is a trick I learned from being on my long bike rides, and I’m coming back around to it. But this time it’s not just about doing the blog - I’m discovering (rediscovering?) the joys of consistency, of sticking to something and being yourself and doing things consistently. They say 99% of success is showing up and I’m testing out the benefits of that, and so far it’s going great. There’s a certain freedom and joy in just submitting to a process and having the patience to let it unspool at its own pace. Get rid of all my old things? I don’t have to do it today all at once, I can just do 30 minutes a day. Fill up a journal? One half page at a time. Write a piece of software? 45 minutes a day. Think about it: if you did something 15 minutes a day, every day, a year from now you’d have done over 90 hours of work on that thing. You could probably do something pretty amazing in that amount of time, and all it took was your leftover time and focus. I can get to where I want to go, one day at a time.
