In the realm of productivity I have come across the idea of the small things. I have started to use this idea in my own plans for world domination. Er sorry that was a typo – my own plans for productivity. Let me explain…
We may have a grand plan to exercise for an hour a day, or to clean the house like a serial killer at a murder scene, or to write a chapter every day but reality doesn’t always allow for that. So what if we just do something small?
Going to the gym for just 15-20 minutes, or lifting weights for five minutes, may not seem like much but it is something. In the long run it is better to do a little than to do nothing.
Unrelated I have cancelled my gym membership.
Just 100 words a day is 36,500 by the end of the year. You would have a novel in three years. That is a long road but a least you are on your way.
Doing these little things gives the satisfaction of seeing an empty to-do list and, after the little things, time left can be used to do just a little more.
I just wanted to say that I have checked this post. I really have. Unfortunately my particular combination of dyslexia and dyspraxia makes it really hard for me to spot typos. Please enjoy and I’ll try not to make too many errors.

Thank you Daniel. I have a writing project that has been rumbling around in my head but I have been finding myself reluctant to start. A book sometimes feels like such a huge project. I have just written 529 words. I have started! Woo hoo! I misread your ‘100 words a day’ as 500 – hence the 529, but I will try to continue regularly now, if not every day, and as you say I will have a book in a year.
