One of my favourite movies is “Limitless”, starring Bradley Cooper.
In a nutshell, it’s about a struggling writer who takes a super pill called “NZT-48” which opens up 100% of his brain’s capabilities and turns him almost-superhuman.
Early in the film, Cooper’s character (Eddie Morra) is hit with writer’s block and can’t seem to write even one word of the novel that his publisher is expecting from him.
After taking the pill, Eddie is on fire and words are falling from the sky. His fingers dance on the keyboard, and he completes most of his book in a single afternoon.
Of course this is just a movie, and I can’t say that I’ve ever written at Eddie’s pace …
But in the last two years that I’ve been mailing out my Secret Coach Club hard copy newsletter, I’ve written a ton of words for it (about 5,000 of them for every monthly issue). In addition to SCC, I write a daily email, a lot of social media posts, etc so I’m churning out a couple hundred thousand words per year.
I’ve been asked how I’m able to write so much, and there are two parts to it.
The first part:
I stick to what I enjoy.
I like writing. It’s fun, and I feel like I have to write (I’d be grouchy if a day went by without me doing it).
But there are things that I don’t enjoy as much.
For example, I’m not into taking 100 selfies a day and posting them on Instagram. If I tried to become a consistent content creator on that platform, I wouldn’t do well with it since it’s just not my thing.
If you hate doing something, don’t beat your head against the wall to try to make it work.
Instead, find out what lights you up and stick to that.
This sounds like common sense, but I see a lot of people online who are trying to do things that they hate doing, and then they wonder why they can’t stay consistent with it.
Later today I’m going to share the second part to how you can have “Limitless” productivity …
