"The funny thing is, the more I stick to this seemingly ‘lower value’ artistic habit, the more other areas of my life have improved...I go to the gym more, walk more, and eat better....Because I want to be in a good state when writing my stories...It’s a non-negotiable."
This is so true. My 'lower value' projects are the ones that always get put off, and they are what nags at me, making everything else harder to do, making me more exhausted and unable to see the resources I have in front of me. I realized a while back that these are indeed my non-negotiables, so I color code them GOLD in my calendar because that's what they produce. Thanks, Alex. I'm so happy to have seen this article. Your goals, and how you go about them, are very inspiring.

happy to hear it's working for you Savitree! Thank you
500 words a night sounds magical! And I love that you pivoted toward writing in the live cohort 🙌💯🔥
Thank you, Alex, for another great read, and a reminder that creativity is powerful✨
thanks Jesse! It's fun. FYI - I'm running three cohorts between now and next March -
speaking confidence, habit-formation and mindset, and then writing for brand growth in early 24!
Ahhhhh! So cool!!
