Do not target to write 1000-word content during the initial writing days.

  • You will not have enough to write
  • This will frustrate you
  • You will not want to write again

Motivate yourself to write by setting small and realistic goals.

Write 150 words daily

Writing 150 words is super easy. You don’t have to think about what to write. You feel good once you achieve this target.

Write for 5 minutes

Writing for 5 minutes is an easy way to avoid overthinking and anxiety. Once you achieve 5 minutes, you can effortlessly write for hours.

Comment on one post daily

It serves two purposes. One — it maintains writing habits on days when you don’t feel like writing. Two — it keeps up the social engagement routine.
