Here’s a scenario you might be familiar with: you want to write, you have every intention to sit down and write…but the motivation just isn’t there. So, you don’t write.
I understand that completely.
Motivation feels good. The forward momentum sparked from feeling inspired can’t be topped. It’s such a high, right?
But here’s the thing. Motivation is fleeting. It’s fickle. It’s like that flaky friend who makes you feel great when you’re together but doesn’t show up for the plans you both agreed to a week ago.
Motivation won’t even call to tell you it’s not coming. It’ll let you sit there, alone, to figure out for yourself that you’ve been stood up.
Basically? Motivation cannot be trusted.
That’s ok, though. Feeling unmotivated to write isn’t a problem, and it doesn’t have to stop you from being productive, either.
Today I’m going to share with you my favorite trick for writing consistently whether you’re feeling motivated to write or not.
