Start a journal or blog.

“I started making, photographing, researching, writing, replying, fixing, editing, collecting equipment, making, cleaning up, buying more server space, and figuring out more… I tend to learn the best from experience rather than someone preaching to me; and I find it sinks in much better. Was it the right way to start; probably not. Believing that there were specific formulas and methods to ensure fast results, seemed artificial to me.”

“After weeks of deliberation, I decided that my blog would be focused on reviewing the books I read and in late October of 2006, I published my first post on Everyday Reading (it was a review of Baby Proof by Emily Giffin). I used a standard template on Blogger, and I didn’t know the first thing about html, photography, or pretty much anything blogging related, but I jumped right in with the goal of reviewing one book per week.”

“I am very busy and also a little lazy when it comes to certain things especially if I am not seeing the immediate benefit. I have faults too and I’m not afraid to admit it. As a result of this fault though, I start a lot of things and don’t continue them [...] So for me, it helps if the task is quick, easy, and painless. My journaling takes typically 5-10 minutes - 30 minutes if I am struggling to articulate how I’m feeling or if I’m going through something. It’s so quick and easy to do that even I have been able to keep up the habit.”
