One Apple A Day #36
I skipped 2 apples in the last 7 days.
2 apples. It doesn’t seem so much. 2 misses in 38 days. But these 2 little apples are so heavy. Because the whole idea behind this project is to put the compound at work for me. My idea is to prove that these tiny daily writing efforts will compound to create a massive result. I don’t have a clear idea of what will be the result. I don’t know when it will happen. What I know is that it will happen. As a result of my increased writing skills. Or through an incredibly inspiring article that will boost my credibility as a writer. Or maybe I will find the inspiration to write a book. I really have no idea. But I know it will work.
The problem is that to make it work I must keep the wheel spinning. The compound effect works through consistency. But to really kick out I need to gain momentum. I need to break the inertia that it’s holding my down and gain enough speed to make the daily practice effortless. It’s a long process, made of tiny steps. The problem is that any step back it’s more than just a step back. It’s a gift to the inertia holding me down.
This is why I must be sure to always create the environment and the opportunities to write my apple, every day.
