**GO SLOW**

Things I don’t want to do:

Get up at 5 am. <BR>
Spend 5 minutes in 50-degree water.<BR>
Hustle 50+ hours a week.<BR>
Time block my calendar to squeeze every second of productivity out of my day.<BR>
Drink green juice.<BR>
75 hard.

Speaking of hard, here’s how I do hard stuff.

A little at a time.<BR>
I iterate.<BR>
I take what I did and try to make it a little better as I go.

For example, I’ve been working on the book you’re reading for 6 months. 

Each chapter is a page or so.

I write a chapter a day. Sometimes more. Sometimes less.

If I miss a day, that’s okay.<BR>
I begin again the next day. <BR>
I’m enjoying the process of writing it. <BR>

Making progress is satisfying. <BR>
I prefer doing (writing) to achieving (finishing). <BR>
That’s why I keep adding chapters. <BR>
This book will never be done :-) 

Go slow.<BR>
Don’t rush.<BR>
Be kind to yourself.
