Hi folks, just wanted to share with you some revelation I had today.

I just completed lesson 6 in phase 3 of the Bootcamp. The task was - “Write for the Next 30 Minutes”.

Now, I just want to note that English is not my native language, so writing in English is a bit of a challenge, so I was willing to accept that I might not achieve much in 30 minutes.

But the main challenge for me was to sit down and write for 30 minutes without any distraction.

As I suspected, indeed.. I was distracted after 5 minutes :), and then again after 10 minutes :)…

But then I decided that enough is enough! I need to discipline my mind!

And the next time my mind was distracted, I’ve noticed that I was writing for 1 hour without stopping! So I decided if I’m on a role, why stop? And finally after almost 2 hours writing with no stop I finished my post.

My point is - I guess that writing (which is new to me) is like a sport - you need to practice, but more important, like in any sport you need to discipline your mind for the first miles (words in our case) until you gather momentum.
