I’ve been publishing one short essay every single day.
It’s a new challenge for me, and while it helps me strengthen my discipline, improve my English, and grow my personal brand, I also noticed another benefit.
This is helping me gain more clarity about my ideas and the brand I want to develop.
Discipline yourself to create something small every day.
Writing these essays doesn’t take long.
However, it forces me to take one idea and distill it as best I possibly can. It must take me less than an hour to do it. As a result, I’m forcing myself to keep absolute clarity and focus.
I see artists in every field, from music to drawing, do the same to train themselves and grow faster as artists.
Put your creation online for the world to see.
It takes courage to publish something online.
It takes extra courage to publish something that is essential and made in an hour. But this is part of the final part of the process. It creates a sense of accountability with the rest of the world (even if you have no followers).
Also, it gives you a visual perspective of how much you are building and growing.
After all, seeing that you have published tens, if not hundreds, of little works is an amazing achievement. Many people will admire it, but very few people will be able to appreciate what it really takes.
You are one of those people.
