  1. Break it down
  • Make a list of the small parts of your project.
  • Anthony Trollope, a 19th century writer said “A small daily task… will beat the labour of spasmodic hercules"
  • Do anything to move the ball. Don’t end the day having done nothing to progress your work.
  1. Rely on your preparation
  • Day work and Night work
  • leave your work half finished and now all you have to do is complete your idea.
  1. Get a ritual
  • Woody Allen famously said “80% of success is showing up”
  • put your shoes on
  • loses idea of a token.
  1. Harness the power of Frequency
  • frequency makes starting easier
  • frequency keeps ideas fresh
  • frequency keeps the pressure off
  • frequency sparks creativity
  • frequency nurtures frequency
  1. Prune the branches
  • Eventually the new branches will steal resources from the initial branches. Eventually the entire vine will succumb to systemic mediocrity.
  • Cut out anything that is not essential
