If you were to ask me who my idols were, I quickly think of people like Picasso, Asimov, DaVinci, Aphex Twin, Agatha Christie, and Ridley Scott.
There is beauty in seeing another human pour out their creative expression in massive and ‘unreasonable’ volume. It fires me up like nothing else.
These are the habits that connect these people:
1. They set ridiculous targets.
Prolific people are ‘prolific’ because they do what few dare do. If everyone was prolific, it would simply be ‘normal.’
You’re not a ‘normie,’ are you, Jake?
So, to do what few do, you need to set targets that many would deem unreasonable or plain ‘ridiculous.’
This is a good thing because there is a heady vibe to playing a game only a handful play. Write a book a month. Paint and release a painting weekly.
Write a daily thread. Go big to be energised. What could you do that no one else is doing?
2. Kill themselves daily.
Woah there, horsey.
What’s Alex talking about? Isn’t this a little naughty and a teensy bit scary?
