[0:00] I think the unfortunate thing is that a
[0:01] lot of people walk around with this
[0:02] mentality that they need somebody else
[0:04] to teach them or they need somebody else
[0:06] to give them permission to figure this
[0:08] thing out or they're not somebody who
[0:10] can teach themselves new things and
[0:11] that's really only because they've never
[0:13] tried and they've never given themselves
[0:15] that proof but the sooner you just like
[0:18] pick something small and easy go figure
[0:20] it out do it give yourself that proof
[0:22] the more and more of that you do the
[0:23] more confident you become this like the
[0:26] theory of small WIS I think is really
[0:27] spoton this idea that you're going to be
[0:30] a lot more motivated if you have a lot
[0:32] of little wins along the way than one
[0:34] big win I you know with crypto
[0:36] confidential I just had a spreadsheet
[0:37] and every day in the spreadsheet I would
[0:39] write down how many words I wrote and if
[0:41] I bring up my stats it says like oh this
[0:43] year Nat's logged 110,000 words that's
[0:46] cool like that's really motivating it's
[0:48] like that's a lot of progress to make in
[0:49] a year you we're almost halfway through
[0:51] the year and if I keep that up 200,000
[0:53] words a year that's like two bucks it's
[0:55] a lot of good writing all right well

[0:58] favorite writers online Nat recently
