LM: #317: Scope to schedule
Big aspirations don’t fit into small schedules.
That has the convenient effect of making our dreams impossible to follow. If you need more time, more money, more energy to make it real, it can always be out of reach. And the circumstances of your life can always be shackles – adversaries holding you down.
I’ve tried to make dreams happen either with a day job or a clear schedule, and neither is enough to fulfill your fantasies.

So instead of trying to make the space to get dreams done, fit the scope to your schedule.
If you have two hours every Sunday, what can you build and ship in that time? One day off per month – is that enough to write an essay? Fifteen minutes a day to think, what can you nudge forward?
A book you finish in short sprints is better than one you never start. You don’t need a ten-day retreat if you have ten minutes a day.
Instead of wishing your day fit your dreams, size your scope to your schedule.
Book: Great Founders Write (Amazon) shows you how to write for teammates, customers, and investors.
Cool: These A5 journals are great for writing a novel, one short booklet at a time.
Best,
David
