Creativity Challenge:

Pick one day to write 20,000 words on a Microsoft doc

'Haha you mean a few days right?'

Nah. Pick ONE day where you dedicate the whole day to this challenge

20,000 words or bust

Any idea you desire

Stretch your mind

You'll be a different person after

'20,000 sounds like a lot bro!'

It is.

That's why it's a CHALLENGE

The logical side of your mind is now saying that it can't be done

And that's what logic does.

It follows preexisting frameworks

Logic is needed in this world.

Without logic, there is chaos

But just like anything in this world....there is a time and place

Creativity follows a different rule set than logic

Creativity is the side to you that is curious & cares less about what's 'supposed' to be possible

A human is comprised of 2 parts:

Matter
Spirit

Creativity is led with the spirit

The side to you that always wants to grow & push the boundaries

Therefore, this challenge is for you to discover your inner creative fire

And discover what was buried within all along

Before we began, let's talk about what to expect

The main thing to expect is a stretched mind

You leave a different person than you were before entering the challenge

The mind is a problem solving machine

And if you don't provide it adequate problems to help you level up...

It will create problems for you

Aka: anxiety

That's why people who are TOO comfortable or have TOO much time on their hands have a lot of sinister thoughts

We all can have sinister thoughts

But their problem solving mind entertains it more

Causing anxiety or sinister actions

This challenge allows you to turn your mind more into matter

You do that by feeding it a problem, intentionally

And solving it creatively

The person you leave the exercise as is someone who is more OPEN MINDED of possibilites

You see that you were sleeping on your creative potential

Now you understand the WHY

The why is to connext with the spirit side & gain more control over your mind

You level up

And when you break it down, everything comes down to controlling the mindset towards your favor

Next question is HOW?

How do you go about this challenge?

Great qs

First of all, content creation is broken down into 2 components:

☆creation
☆edit

That's it.

Those are the pure fundamentals

Creation is what we are focusing on.

Editing is the logical side.

That's not what this exercise is about

Cheatcode to never run out of creative content:

☆lead with emotion

☆edit with logic

Choose ONE big idea

It can be about anything.

☆why you want to start a business

☆how to finish off 2020 strong

☆advice from your future self

☆why you should overcome a fear etc.

Next, you want to allocate 1 full day for it

No distractions.

Get your meals already prepped

Avoid anything too greasy.

Keep yourself 75% full after you are done eating

When up, open Microsoft word & get out a timer.

Set aside 3 hours (you can adjust the numbers) to write

And full focus is on the activity

Then take a 30 minute break

'Do I time my breaks too?'

Yup. Otherwise you may slack off

Make sure you are hydrated throughout this whole thing

And just pure focus on writing away.

Here's what you DON'T do btw:

☆obsess over the 'right' words

☆obsess over spelling.

☆obsess over grammar

Blah blah blah

All those are logic's problem

Not creativity's problem

When you are editing, you can focus on better word selection, spelling, grammar etc

Dedicate the whole day bud

Don't even bother picking up the challenge if you're like:

'Well, it's not possible. But I guess I can try.'

That's a loser's attitude

Go do something else

These are the people who will be happy that they didn't meet the mark

Just so they are like 'told ya so!'

These humans are overly logical

And their logic unfortunately can be their biggest enemy from being BOLD

The only people who should pick up this challenge is the group who feels ENTHUSIASM & CURIOSITY.

These 2 traits make you a deadly creator

It makes you prolific

Writing works out your mind

Creative writing is the gym

You got this

And hypothetically, if you don't hit the mark, you'll still feel different

This incredible act got your subconscious mind to listen

It knows now that you're a doer.

It will begin to melt analysis paralysis in the future

You seem more encouraged to pick up challenges....

You leave a different person than you entered

Begin.

Creative writing is a limitless world
