For each day that I do my task of writing, I get to put a big red X over that day. After a few days you'll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You'll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain. "Don't break the chain," he said again for emphasis.

a chain. Just keep at it and
the chain will grow longer
every day. You'll like seeing

you get a few weeks under

5. Inch by Inch anything's a Cinch
It works because it isn't the one-shot pushes
that get us where we want to go, it is the
consistent daily action that builds extraordinary
outcomes. You may have heard "inch by inch
anything's a cinch." Inch by inch works if you
move an inch every day.

6. Long Term Planning
There is no long term
without consistent short
term

8. Daily action builds habits
It gives you practice and will make you an expert
in a short time. If you don't break the chain,
you'll start to spot opportunities you otherwise
wouldn't. Small improvements accumulate into
large improvements rapidly because daily action
provides "compounding interest."

10. Don’t Break the Chain

miss two days, the
critics notice it. If I miss
three days, the
audience notices it.
– Ignacy Jan Paderewski

11. Action
• Take action—even if
small—every day as
opposed to try to make it
up once or twice a week.
• Daily action yields greater
benefits than sitting down
and trying to knock a lot
in one day.
• Imperfect action beats
perfect inaction.

here on out...
