You dream of being a writer.
Maybe you even feel there is a book within you.
Each New Year, you resolve to do it. To start writing regularly. To start working on a book or a blog.
But what happens?
- You get too busy.
- You don’t have the energy.
- You can’t find the time.
- Your health or the health of a dear one falters.
- You doubt whether you have what it takes.
But deep within lies your dream, waiting for you, year after year.
You can’t erase this dream of becoming a writer. Because this dream is the message you are destined to share with the world.
But how to do it? How to make this dream a reality?
How to start and not give up?
There is only one way to do it. You need to write. Every day.
It is a challenge. However, there is a simple way to overcome this challenge without using willpower or needing a dose of discipline.
You need to establish a tiny habit of writing.
According to behavioral scientist, BJ Fogg, there are two ways to change behavior in the long-term: either change your environment or take baby steps.
Most people who want to create a new habit choose a big goal and experience a burst of enthusiasm…which is then eventually followed by failure when momentum stalls and motivation wanes. I bet you know all about this.
However, with the strategy of tiny habits, you’ll be able to develop a new habit with ease without having to use willpower or discipline to achieve your goal.

The Secret of Tiny Habits
According to behavioral scientist, BJ Fogg, a “tiny habit” is a behavior that…
- You do at least once a day.
- It takes you less than 30 seconds to do.
- It requires little effort.
Let’s take a look at what a tiny writing habit could be. Remember, your habit needs to be ridiculously small and easy to accomplish so that you only need a minimum of _activation energy (_the energy to start a habit). The smaller the habit, the less energy you need to establish it.
