Stop Waiting and do.
I read this nice article about routines and productivity that woke me up.
I realized my routine was off, I’m emotional, my motivation is predicated on my emotions, and that screws up my discipline.
The first few lines of this article stuck out.

The next article will be my detailed plan and vulnerability to create discipline to become a full-time writer. And it starts with little things.
Like how this writer walks their dog every morning.
