    About this ebook

    Continue Your Personal Journey Down Publication Highway
    There is no magic to writing a book. None. You take action, every single day, until your book is finished. You plan, schedule and execute the plan. You write.
    Simple.
    This book teaches you how to begin your day with clarity. You learn specific habits to improve your focus and remove needless decisions entirely.
    You must participate in every exercise to achieve the greatest results.
    If you are serious about finishing your manuscript, grab your notebook, a pen, and a cup of your favorite beverage, and join me at the kitchen table. We'll chat about habits, willpower and self-discipline. We'll discuss how the mind functions, what makes a habit stick, and how our willpower fades throughout the day. We'll talk about concrete steps to improve your self-discipline.
    Then I'll ask you to complete a series of exercises. These exercises reveal, at a deep level, what's important to you - what you value most in life. This clarity of purpose allows you to create a morning routine designed to jump-start your daily writing output.
    Don't worry. I don't tell you what to do.
    I offer suggestions. I encourage you to begin with small changes to experience immediate "wins." I will show you how other productive writers start their days and ask you to add key elements from their lives to your daily routine. Pick what works for you and forget about the rest.
    But this whole process begins with honesty - self-honesty - so grab a full bucket of willingness and let's get started.

      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to my sweet and loving wife Lynda. Without her unwavering support none of this would be possible.

      Acknowledgments

      Without the assistance of my editor, Nicolas Johnson, I can’t imagine how this book would read. He tears my words apart from every conceivable angle, then offers thoughtful and constructive criticism on how best to fix the destruction at our feet. I thank God for Nicolas Johnson and his talents, daily.

      #EditorsMatter

      I also wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to the following individuals who took time from their own busy lives to critique this manuscript. Their willingness to assist a total stranger humbles me.

      Foreword

      Imagine you wake up tomorrow with a clear focus for your life.

      Imagine you wake up tomorrow certain this is your most productive day ever.

      Imagine you wake up tomorrow confident the action you take today will move you one step closer to your ultimate goal - your published book.

      Now think about how you woke up this morning.

      Did the alarm clock shock you awake? Did you slam the snooze button in frustration, desperate for a few more minutes of sleep? Did you drag your butt out of bed, stagger into the kitchen and discover the coffee can is empty? Did you drag your butt out the door, late for work, as always?

      Did you try to figure out what you need to accomplish today, but fail? Did you wonder if you could find time to write at all? Did the grumbling voice in the back of your mind whisper, once again, your dream of a publish book is just a childish fantasy?

      If these questions resonate with you, you’re in the right place.

      You can wake up every day focused on your goal.

      You can wake up every day, certain you can write more words than you wrote yesterday, and write them easier and faster, too.

      You can wake up every day with greater clarity of purpose.

      You can wake up every day eager to move one step closer to your published book.

      A bold promise?

      No, a simple statement of fact.

      It all starts with your morning routine. Yes, you already have a morning routine. It may be unplanned and chaotic, but it is still a routine. A few simple changes will improve your focus, clarity and productivity for the rest of your day, and for the rest of your life.

      There is no magic to writing a book. None. You take action, every single day, until your book is finished. You plan, schedule and execute the plan. You write.

      Simple.

      This book teaches you how to begin your day with clarity. You learn specific habits to improve your focus and remove needless decisions from your day entirely.

      You must participate in every exercise to achieve the greatest results.

      If you are serious about finishing your manuscript, grab your notebook, a pen, and a cup of your favorite beverage, and join me at the kitchen table. We’ll chat about habits, willpower and self-discipline. We’ll discuss how the mind functions, what makes a habit stick, and how our willpower fades throughout the day. We’ll talk about concrete steps to improve your self-discipline.

      Then I’ll ask you to complete a series of exercises. These exercises reveal, at a deep level, what’s important to you - what you value most in life. This clarity of purpose allows you to create a morning routine designed to jump-start your daily writing output.

      Don’t worry. I don’t tell you what to do.

      I offer suggestions. I encourage you to begin with small changes to experience immediate wins. I will show you how other productive writers start their days and ask you to add key elements from their lives to your daily routine. Pick what works for you and forget about the rest.

      But this whole process begins with honesty - self-honesty - so grab a full bucket of willingness and let’s get started.

      Chapter 1: The Power of Habit

      Habit Defined

      Having a set routine where I do the same things at the same time every day is crucial to saving time and mental energy.

      – Jessica Dang

      Webster’s 9th New Collegiate Dictionary defines habit as:

      1. A behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiological exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance;

      2. A way of acting fixed through repetition;

      3. An acquired move of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary.

      When we perform a series of tasks without conscious thought, we perform by habit. We are not zombies, though. We are aware of our actions, but the impulse to perform them is unconscious and, when deeply ingrained, compulsive.

      Watch a child as they learn how to walk. Their focus is incredible. When I was a baby I focused on how to put one foot in front of the other without falling flat on my face, to the exclusion of everything else.

      As an adult, I do not focus on the physiological commands necessary for my body to stand, walk to the kitchen and pour a fresh cup of coffee. I perform these actions automatically. Once I learned these skills as a child, my mind shifted them into my subconscious mind. It performs them flawlessly, when required.
