Reframe Your Perspective of Time
<p>Recently, I’ve been reading the book “Someday Is Today,” but I’m still not finished yet. But I found a really fantastic, practical piece of advice that changed my perspective of time. And now, I’m sharing this with you.</p>
<p>The author of this book “Mr. Matthew Dicks” is sitting in a McDonald’s restaurant, meeting with a woman. They are talking about literary agents, editors, book contracts, international sales, etc. And at one point, during the conversation, the author asks the woman, “How’s the book coming?” And the woman says she hasn’t really started it yet. Then, she asks him how his writing process is.</p>
<p>He says, “You were seven minutes late today.” When the woman starts to apologize about it, he says, “No, no ,no, that’s not my point. The point is that <strong>during those seven minutes, I wrote nine good sentences</strong>.”</p>
<p>He continues, “The average novel is somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 sentences. And <em>every sentence that I write gets me closer to my goal</em>. And today, I got nine sentences closer.”</p>
