The Step You Keep Almost Taking

You know what the next move is. You've written it down. You've seen it across your journal entries. You keep almost making it. This isn't about fear or laziness. It's about waiting for readiness that only ever comes through the step itself. So make the step smaller.

I have not been good at sticking with the Heinlein rules on writing (and am not particularly a fan of Heinlein), but I nevertheless believe they're a good set of guidelines for burgeoning #writers to keep in mind.

• You must write.
• You must finish what you start.
• You must refrain from rewriting.
• You must put it on the market.
• You must keep it on the market until sold.

When you’re trying to clean up a big, overwhelming mess (literal or metaphorical), and you can’t figure out where to start, the solution is simple:

Less figuring out. More starting.

I've found that living intentionally is more about finding the right questions to ask than finding the right answers.

What do you think?

What's one of your favourite questions you like to ask yourself in order to unstuck yourself?

Started the morning with a great reminder of the power of breaks (and sleep!) when you’re stuck: yesterday, I received a completely baffling set of instructions from a manager, along with a nearly impenetrable example document. It was late in the day and he said to finish it tomorrow, so after staring at it for 30 minutes and getting nowhere I shut down for the day.

I woke up this morning and before I even got out of bed, I knew exactly what he was asking for and how to do it. #GettingUnstuck
