The Tools That Got You There

Wondering why a change you made has no longer "stuck"? Consider if you are still using the tools that supported the change. 

Too often, we make a change, and then feel as if "we got this" and stop doing the things that got us there. I have seen this happen often with writing--a scholar adds some of the tools of writing productivity (e.g. a ritual, good use of time blocking, a sustainable session duration, accountability, self talk, entry points, etc. ) and then slowly "regresses to the mean" of their previous ways. 

Lean into the tools that get you where you wish to go. Stay in the process.
