Todays Letter is on starting a Daily Newsletter practice.
I've told myself for a long time that I “was” living this truth The Way of The Superior Man.
"As of now spend a minimum of one hour a day doing whatever you are waiting to do" In this context I am waiting to post creative work consistently
I've been in this endless cycle of optimizing, and tweaking my messaging, funnel, recording process, etc… I'll spend most days from sunrise to sunset finding something ELSE to work on towards making this vision happen. No writing has actually been getting done. Branding and systemizing processes I love these two aspects of the game but I've been using them to avoid the real work.
This was especially obvious when I told myself the past two days let's just do 600 words on Substack every day and I managed to find a way to procrastinate around that, to work on other things.
In order to change this I used 100% of my free will today to decide that we are gonna start posting a daily letter. Here's a screenshot from my GPT convo this morning on deciding the ideal newsletter length.
No more of waiting for my publication to be “polished” or for me to have completed enough quiet writing to be “ready” it’s go time.
looking forward to our continued becoming.
Godspeed ㊥
Yo Dan! We once had a conversation on zoom, you may rmember, you may not (JoseTakesAction).
Funny you wrote this today. I just finished a 30 day challenge that was writing an article every day. It was primarily to get out of my own way, to get some momentum.
I'm gonna think today, I may write, I may not. But I wanna keep doing the daily newsletter, I think it is hard to beat the idea of putting something out there when you are a creative of some sort.
Good stuff, just suscribed from this user.
