  • and so, so much more.

The first 100 days of any goal whether it starts on January 1 or August 11. The date is not what matters, just starting is the key.

Write a book in 100 days

If you want to write a book in 2020 and become a published author earning a living from your writing in this decade, you can start today. Write 700 words every day and you’ll have a 70,000 word book in 100 days.

Train for a marathon in 100 days

Do you want to run a marathon this year? The next 100 days are your foundation. Get your running shoes on and start today. Even if it means you’re walking for half the time. That’s okay. Each day you’ll run more, walk less, and before you know it you’ll be running 5km then 10km, then 20km and before you know it you’ll be ready for that marathon.

Learn a foreign language in 100 days

Maybe you want to learn a foreign language. Start today. Choose your language of choice. Spanish, Chinese, German or French. Learn a phrase every day. Repeat it. Write it. Say it. Listen to it. Practice it. Learn another tomorrow. And so forth. In 100 days you can be speaking the basics of a foreign language. How cool is that!?!

Transform your eating habits in 100 days

You can change your eating habits, your lifestyle, just by making small shifts in your daily habits. Wake up twenty minutes earlier. Start the day with some yoga or a run. Write in your journal. Do 1 thing that is important to you. Choose to start your day with a healthy breakfast. Finish it with a nutritious dinner.

It’s the little things that make big things grow.

You can do it. You are smart enough, strong enough, talented enough, to achieve your wildest dreams.

Feel the fear and do it anyway, is what Susan Jeffers said.

We all feel fear especially when we’re faced with the unknown. It’s good to feel fear. When we go for the things we want even when we fear the progress, that is when we grow.

What are you going to do over the next 100 days that will improve your life, help you grow as a writer, and allow you to feel successful?

I’ve always had the problem of trying to do too much at once. Then rushing through it. In 2020, I’m not rushing. I’m taking my time.

Sometimes slowing down means getting more done.

Over the next 100 days my aim is to become a better writer. I want to challenge my writing muscles. Focus on my weaknesses and ensure that I grow as a writer in 2020.

It’s about going back to basics and securing a strong foundation. Get the foundation right and the rest becomes a much easier process. Get it wrong and a lot of time and energy might be wasted.

I’m ready for a productive, fun and successful 2020. How about you?
