日更 30 天,寫出 3 萬字:寫作如何改變我的人生

Work & creativity

About this episode

In this episode, I share my experience of a "write every day for 30 days" challenge, starting from zero and writing more than 30,892 words. It wasn't just a writing challenge; it was training in thinking with a pen.

You'll hear: • How I went from "I'm not a good writer" to getting up early to write every day without thinking about it • The "30/30 rule": 30 minutes a day for 30 days to build a steady writing habit • Why writing is really training your thinking and your output • The two creative tools I use: Obsidian for notes and Gamma for AI-generated visuals • How writing helped me find a new direction for my podcast and personal brand

If you're hesitating about starting to write, or want to rediscover your passion for creating, this episode will help you find your own rhythm and method.
