Chicken soup is delicious, but the reality is both skinny and cruel.
I am not a person who can be cured or changed in one sentence. Or someone who can get up at four or five in the morning. Not to mention getting up early and sitting down to write.
But as time goes on, I find that my pattern seems to be getting smaller.
In one year, two years and three years, those partners who insist on getting up early and punching in have become the fastest growing and best performing groups in the circle of friends.
And I'm just the unwilling me.
So, I decided to seriously explore the magic behind the sentence "get up early to write and change my life". In order to make this exploration more convincing, I began to look up the writing habits of a large number of famous writers. I was surprised to find that this group of famous writers I admire, from Hemingway to Haruki Murakami to Zheng, to writing coach Qi and teacher Hongdan, all like to get up early to write.
Why on earth is this?
Fairy tale writer Zheng: I am the most carefree person in the world during the day.
In "Let's Talk" program, fairy tale writer Zheng shared his writing habits for the first time. He gets up at 4: 30 every morning and writes until 6: 30. Zheng claims to be the most idle person in the world during the day. Because in two hours in the morning, he finished all the things he wanted to write all day, and he can stay with his family and do other interesting jobs the rest of the time. He persisted in this habit for 28 years, and the familiar work "The King of Fairy Tales" was born in such an early morning.
Zheng's habit of getting up early in the morning actually conveys a valuable message to us: high energy matters. Complete the most important things in the most productive, sober and golden time within 24 hours. Then at other times we have greater maneuverability and freedom.
Isn't this the "freedom" in the "free occupation" that most of us are pursuing now? Try to finish the most important and urgent thing of the day, and you can freely develop your hobbies for most of the rest of the time. At this point, I began to want to try to get up early.
Teacher Hong Dan, Writing Coach: Beneficiary and Practitioner of Early Writing
By getting up early to write, Ms. Hong Dan achieved a curve overtaking from a female engineer to a writing coach. Seven years ago, Ms. Hong Dan was a female engineer working in a foreign company. Inspired by her friends' works, she began to write by herself.
Due to uncontrollable working hours, Mr. Hong Dan chose to get up early to write. Get up at 5 o'clock every day and strive for a large blank free writing time for teacher Hong Dan. Without the complicated work and the information interference of electronic equipment, teacher Hong Dan's writing has made great progress. In the following years, a series of best-selling writing books and a series of explosive courses were born.
As a beneficiary and practitioner of early morning writing, teacher Hong Dan also opened a "Red Dan Morning Reading Club" for this purpose, and specially opened an early morning punching column on the official account of WeChat to encourage more people to join early morning writing and gain different self.
The early-rising writing advocated by teacher Hong Dan also conveys a message to us all the time: the early bird catches the worm, and continuous action can make progress.
In addition to the above, writing early in the morning actually has many other benefits, such as developing the habit of self-discipline, living two hours more every day and thinking clearly in the morning.
It's no use talking without practice, and it's no use doing research. Since everyone says that every moment of spring is worth a thousand dollars, I decided to try my best to find out. In the next three months, I decided to set myself a goal: get up early every day (get up at 6: 30) and write at least 400 words. We will know in three months.
