What Cat Food and Feng Shui Have to Do With Your Book


Reading Time: Postcard (less than 30 seconds)

We've been talking about cat food for too long, so I promise this is the last day. Hear me out. Plus I'll make it fast:

You need some type of accountability that makes it impossible to ignore the commitment you've made to yourself. If it's not cat food, what is it?

It might be what transforms you from "someone who wants to write a book" to "a writer."

Thus you need something that supports your writing (instead of sabotaging it). Like a reminder of your commitment, or an environment redesign, or a new belief. Or all of the above.

What visual reminder do you need? What space do you need to create? What identity shift do you need to make?

Your book won't write itself. (Trust me on this one.)

And. Your book isn't going to write itself while you wait for motivation, so you're gonna have to engineer the circumstances that make writing inevitable.

What's it going to be?

I'll be here cheering you on,

Reading Time: Postcard (less than 30 seconds) Steve asked a great question, "Do I need to make every single change to see results [with Feng Shui]?" The answer is, unequivocally, no. You don't need to hire a Feng Shui consultant. You don't need to "Marie Kondo" your entire house. You just need to look at your environment with fresh eyes and ask: "How does my space feel and is it helping me become who I want to be?" If the answer is yes, leave it be! And if the answer is no? Change it, one...
