  2. Read 10 books this year [1 book per month + cushion for longer books]
  3. Write 52 articles for Medium
  4. Write 1,000 word per month toward a book – either non-fiction or fiction.

Strategy

  1. Track finances on a weekly basis to ensure you’re keeping your costs down.
    Complete another “No buy year”
  2. Dedicate at least 2 hours a week to reading a book.
    It takes around 5 hours to finish a 80,000-word book. 2 hours a week x 4 weeks = 6 hours a month, which will give you ample time finish reading 1 book.
  3. Write everyday shooting for at least 1,000 words towards Medium articles.
    Or 2 hours of dedicated time.
    Assign publish time to 5 AM every Tuesday until you complete the year. Then go back and see if you can fill up the year with Thursday 5 AM posts.
  4. Figure out how to dedicate time to writing fiction.
