Key to Showing Up Daily.

Showing up every day and taking your work seriously and committing to it really does its magic.

But many times making me write daily on my low days requires a little bit of work.

Writing requires some warm-up too.

It was frustrating making myself sit in front of my laptop to write and type and type and write.

It was frustrating; I became lost for words many times.

I would not know what to write after the word.

I will stare at the blank screen just to receive crickets sounding in my brain.

This stopped when I discovered the 3-minute rule.

Every single good writer out there in the world has a specific routine and practice for themselves; it can be small or big, but everyone has something to help them with.

If someone tells you they don't and they just sit and write whenever and wherever they want daily, they are lying to you.

Writing is easy, but writing well takes a hell lot of time and practice to learn it properly.

The 3-minute rule:

You have to write; it doesn't matter which time it is, how much rush you are in, or when is your deadline; nothing matters.

What matters is that you write well.

Open your laptop instead of writing the drafts directly and purging and forcing and stressing your mind into the real work.

Write anything that comes to your mind; it can be about your personal life or about an object that is in front of you.

It doesn't matter; the only thing that matters is that you write and write and write for 3 minutes, then stop.

Things will get interesting, and you will get the right ideas. slowly you want to write more beyond the 3 minutes, but that's when you stop and start writing the real thing you want to work on.

By doing this, your brain activates and warms up the creative side.

I write about what work I have to do today, what is going on in my mind about my professional career, and what I can do to improve it and everything.

There are still more writing prompts I follow, but this was a game-changer for me.

This drastically improved my mindset and mood to write for the day.

Somedays I tend to skip it or forget it because of the workload, and those are the days I have to wait for the words to flow in or there will be a lot of reviewing and editing to do.

Writing daily takes a lot of effort, even though I enjoy writing.

Sometimes it demands a hell of a lot of time and commitment, which sometimes I struggle to make, and that's okay until and unless you decide to show up.

Quitting everything and starting a writing career is all I could ask for, but it is my job now. I had to show up even though my body was in pain.

and finding exercise; like this makes my work a lot of times better and manageable.

Let me know if you try this and update me on how it goes.
