How do you follow through on what you set out to do?
I love those moments of inspiration. When something is suddenly clear, you know exactly what you want and what it’ll be like when you get there.
The tricky part is how to keep that alive.
And the answer has to lie in a system. I wish I could, but I can’t reply on inspiration every day- it requires too much thinking. We need to figure out how to translate that to the systematic actions that take place daily without our constant upkeep.
I don’t visualise the perfect healthy smile every day, yet I do brush my teeth twice a day.
It’s not because I’m a powerful productivity god, I just have a simple action I do each day (and you probably do too).
So the question isn’t how do we keep motivated.
It’s how to we harness that initial momentum, wisely pick the ‘tooth brushing’ equivalent action and merely do that daily.
Our capacity will grow over time and we inch closer without the constant mental load.
