👉🏻 Stop overthinking. The best time to start is now.

Background:

I always work best when I set myself a challenge and create some accountability around it (like I did with #75hard earlier this year).

That's why I'm creating my own challenge called 100 Days Doing.

<aside> 💡 The goal is to do something every day that you want to get better at. One thing only ☝🏻

</aside>

It could be writing, creating videos, working out, playing piano, coding blogging, or whatever you want. You choose the thing and you do it every day for at least 30 mins, for 100 days.

👉🏻 That’s 50 hours of deliberate practice in one area.

Quantity > Quality

We often hear the term “quality over quantity”. But to improve, it’s better to practice for progress instead of aiming for perfection.

In the book Atomic Habits, James Clear shares a great story demonstrating this idea*.* It starts with **Jerry Uelsmann, a professor at the University of Florida who at the beginning of a new semester split his class into two groups.

Group A = the quantity group.** Their grade would be dependent on the quantity of work they produced (no matter how good or bad it was.)

Group B = the quality group. They would be graded on the single best piece of work they submitted.

Surprisingly, by the semester’s end, those in Group A produced higher-quality work than those in Group B.

Why? Because Group A was focused on getting those reps in 💪🏻, good or bad it didn't matter. They would test and experiment with composition, lighting, and effects to create more and more work.

While Group B spent their time theorizing about creating the perfect photos… but without practicing their craft as much.

<aside> 💡 This creative freedom and deliberate practice made Group A into better photographers.
