Here I sit on Day 2 laststanding.app’s open-ended challenge. I committed to five minutes of writing every day. That might happen here, on my other site, on my other other site, or on my computer on a long form project.
Already the thrill of the new has faded. Already I am negotiating with myself to drop the commitment I made to myself.
On the second day!
How long will this go? How many days in a row will I write for five minutes every day? As currently configured—until I die.
There is only one way to do this: one day at a time.
I can’t do something forever. But I can do something one day at a time, for quite a while.
