Common Obstacles To Writing

  • You’re busy: separate 5-15 minutes to write, first thing in the morning, and stick to it.

  • You’re not motivated: Commit to writing to an accountability group and report to them if you wrote or not.

1. Waking Up Early in the Morning

Waking up early in the morning has its own advantages with close to no disadvantages.

For those who find it a little too much, I wanna tell them that by waking up just 2–3 hours before others, you become 10 times more ‘dominating’ and 10 steps ‘ahead’ of all your peers.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Jamyson Haug

Giovanna Scalzone
