Report to your accountability group every day, whether you were successful or not. When you are unsuccessful, strongly commit to getting back on track the next day or even set up penalties or rewards for extra motivation.

Report On Your Success

<ul><li>You’re busy: separate 5-15 minutes to write, first thing in the morning, and stick to it.</li><li>You’re intimidated: The important thing is to start.</li><li>You’re not motivated: Commit to writing to an accountability group and report to them if you wrote or not.</li><li>You’re distracted: Close all programs but the writing one. </li><li>Nothing to write about: Spend some time during the day thinking of what to write. Exercise, going to bed, the shower, and your commute are good times to do this. </li></ul>

Common Obstacles To Writing 

It’s best to set your writing time right after something else you regularly do each morning: wake up, shower, brush your teeth, etc. Try to set it before anything that might lead to further tasks or distractions, like email checking.You can also set reminders, or write reminder notes for yourself, that will be seen when your trigger happens.

Have a Trigger And Reminders

Make a public commitment, to people who will hold you accountable. You don’t need to publish your writing each day, but just write at least 5 minutes a day.It can be any type of writing and it doesn’t have to be good, so let go of your desire for perfection.

Commit To Writing Every Day This Month

Setting your writing time during the morning is ideal as you haven’t gotten busy yet. But find what works for you and treat this appointment as unmissable.

Set Aside 5-10 Minutes 

Turn off notifications and, if you’re not using pen and paper, close all programs but the one you’ll use to write. Preferably though it in the night before, so you aren’t distracted when the writing time comes the next day.You don’t have to write for a full 5-10 minutes. Writing just a few words is all you need to be successful today, the volume will come later.

Just Focus On Starting Each Day

Think about what you want to write during a workout, on a walk, in the shower, while you eat, on your commute, in a boring meeting. But definitely think about it before you go to sleep.

Think Of What To Write In Advance

Once you have the intention to write every day ( read this post for why you should), it's not always as easy as just saying, "I'm going to do it." It doesn't have to be hard, but there are a few obstacles that stand in the way: You get busy and push the writing back in the day, and often it gets left off.
