Whenever I need to clean the house,
I watch Hoarders.
Seeing folks buried in their stuff
drives me to purge my house
of my own stuff.
Whenever I feel like a lazy ass
about writing,
I read articles about Nora Roberts
and I’m inspired by her almost crazy dedication
to writing
and her absolutely insane daily word count.
Seeing the extremes
shows me that my more average goal
is completely doable.
It blasts through my excuses.
If Nora Roberts can write seven novels a year,
I can write three.
If a hoarder can clean out
a house filled with stuff
in a weekend,
I can clean my relatively tidy living room
in an hour.
If you’re inspired by the extremes,
use that inspiration
to achieve your goals.
