It takes me less time to complete these daily 1-minute insights these days.
When I first started, it would take me close to 2 hours on average—mostly because I had no word count constraint which made them way longer than 1-minute.
When I added my 280 word count constraint, It started taking closer to 1 hour on average.
And as I’ve been writing these pieces for the past several years, I’ve noticed it is taking me less and less time to get my thoughts into their final, shareable form. Some days, it’ll only take me 5-15 minutes.
Which isn’t to say this process of coming up with unique insights on the daily is becoming more and more easy—because it’s still as challenging as ever to write concise and clear pieces that I’m proud to share.
It’s simply an observation that I’m getting better as a thinker and writer.
Just like sprinting never gets easier for the track athlete—they just get faster… so, too, is it the case for anybody who is learning and improving upon a performance or expressive based skill.
Don’t wish it was easier… stay steady focused on improving your skill and becoming better.
Easy is a trap—because nothing worthwhile comes easily…
Hard is where the magic happens—because just on the other side is better.
