Day 12: The Excuse You're Most Proud Of

Today's prompt

What's your most sophisticated excuse? The one that sounds so reasonable that even you believe it? 'I'm just too busy.' 'It's not the right time.' 'I need to do more research first.' Write it down and read it back to yourself.

Read the prompt above twice. Once fast, once slow. Notice what your first reaction wants to be. That reaction is data.

The best excuses don't sound like excuses. That's what makes them dangerous.

You can sit with this for 5 minutes today and put it down. You can come back tomorrow. There's no completion gate, no streak, no score. The work is the reward — and the work is just paying attention to what came up when you read it.
