4 Secret Goldilocks Rules to Turn Your Boring Writing Into a $1000 Venture
If writing feels boring, maybe you’ve never explored the writing correctly.
No one can forget the silly bedtime story of the Goldilocks and the three bears. Little Goldilocks with golden curls went inside a cozy home, fed herself three bowls of porridge, and slept unaware of the bear’s presence. A lesson from Goldilocks is to remain vigilant and never enter an anonymous house.
But Goldilocks’ story has a deeper meaning.
According to the author and scientist James Clear, the Goldilocks rule can change your life:
“The Goldilocks Rule states that humans experience peak motivation when working on tasks right on the edge of their current abilities. Not too hard. Not too easy. Just right.”
Our motivation is driven by the tasks we do: easy and complex. However, if we do the easy task, we lose motivation. If we do the hard task, the satisfaction doesn’t kick in.
Find optimal balance.
James Clear indicates that the Goldilocks rule is the sole reason people lose motivation as writers. Because the competition is either too easy (less motivational) or too hard (less satisfying.)
