1/ One of my favorite ideas is called “Success by Exhaustion”
It applies to just about everything.
Inertia defeats procrastination. The longer you wait, the more you want to keep waiting.
As Arnold Swarzennegar said: “There are no shortcuts—everything is reps, reps, reps.”

2/ All creators feel “The Resistance."
RESISTANCE is the voice of an inner critic.
It’s the sound of fear and anxiety.
When in doubt:
1⃣ Move
2⃣ Act
Focus on creating and maintaining MOMENTUM.
Have a bias towards action.

3/ One of my favorite examples is @JJRedick.
Every Sunday, he MAKES 342 shots — no more, no less.
It works!
He set the ACC record for most consecutive free-throws made: 54
He finished his college career ranked 2nd among the NCAA’s all-time leaders in free-throw percentage.

4/ Look at @CaseyNeistat.
A couple years ago, Casey was a small YouTuber.
His HBO show wasn't renewed.
And he felt stuck.
Then, Casey started a daily vlog.
He published a video EVERY SINGLE DAY for 534 days.
Now, he has 9,400,000 YouTube subscribers.

6/ Progress COMPOUNDS.
Sometimes, it’s simple but not easy.
As Warren Buffett once said:
“Read 500 pages like this every day. That’s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.”

7/ Arnold Swarzennegar followed the strategy of more REPS.
For DECADES
Quotes:
1. "I'm addicted to exercising and I have to do something every day."
2. "I do the same exercises I did 50 years ago and they still work. I eat the same food I ate 50 years ago and it still works."

8/ Summary:
1. Focus on creating and maintaining momentum. Bias towards action.
2. If you want to work on big things, you seem to have to trick yourself into doing it. — @paulg
3. Set up weekly/daily pressures.
It's the best way to START a project.
