7 hours a day. 100 days in a row. If you miss a day, then you have to restart. The Project stays the same. Only work on what drives the needle forward. When the challenge is complete, decide if the Project is worth continuing.
365 days in a year. That’s 3 Challenges.
If you keep thinking about what you could do, or how long it will take, you will be in a worse spot in 1 year. It will be worse because you will be in the same spot, with bags of disappointment in yourself for not putting any action behind your thoughts.
Time will pass. Thoughts will keep coming. Life keeps going. Feelings of depression, un-motivation, disappointment, fatigue, dreariness. It will all continue. If you do absolutely nothing about it, it will still happen. Without action, you’ll be exhausted and you’ll feel pathetic when you realize that you’re exhausted and you haven’t actually done anything except make yourself exhausted. You will be exhausted even if you don’t do anything.
So yes, 700 hours will probably be exhausting. And irritating. But, it will also be rewarding, inspiring, and most likely an enormous success. The only difference between this exhaustion and the alternative exhaustion is that you’ll be overwhelmed with gratitude, and most likely achieve your greatest goal(s). And that, is the only difference that actually matters.
Isn’t it?…
It is for me. So, the beginning is now.
