3 — Control your motivation.

I did many 30-day challenges in the last year. And every time I failed was because of motivational slumps. No matter how hard I try, sooner or later, I stop feeling motivated, and I skip writing for a few days.

So here are a few suggestions to deal with motivation:

  • Don’t crush your goals.  If you work more than you should every day, your willpower could crumble.
  • The less motivational power you use, the more you will have when you need it.
  • Even if writing is your goal, pair it with some reward.
  • Deal with failure.
