Habits are Formed Through Actions

Instead of just resolving to 'I should write every day!', it's better to record how much you're writing each day and what you've written.

Habits become natural when you repeat actions. When you repeat a specific action, your brain changes into a more efficient structure for performing that action. Not just writing, but to cultivate any habit, the number of times you perform the action is more important than the amount of time you've spent on the habit.

So, I write every day. Even if it's just 2 minutes or 10 minutes, I write and write again. I write leisurely, aiming to be a life where I naturally write even when I become a completely white-haired old lady.

▶ The most important thing to master any habit is 'repetition'. It's not about completion.

▶How often you repeat something is more important than how long you do it for in order for a habit to become automatic.

▶ Time has no effect on habit formation. Whether it's 21 days, 30 days, or 300 days doesn't matter. What matters is the rate at which you perform the action. Doing something twice in three days and doing it 200 times leads to vastly different outcomes.
