# 14: This Simple Productivity Hack I Follow To Write Online as a Part-Time Creator
2 minute read
I figured out everything about life.
I know where I want to go.
I’ve never stuck with anything.
I was living my dream life.
I had everything.
But I was not happy.
I had a feeling like something is missing.
And then a marvelous incident happened.
I wrote my first blog post online back in 2021.
It was an accidental journey.
I never aimed to become a writer.
But in the last two years, I have become obsessed with writing.
I’ve fallen in love with the creative process — the sound of my typing board when words come alive.
Oh, the happy accidents that happen.

You become what you tell yourself.
If you ask anyone, I am an introvert, socially awkward person, and very shy.
And no one would believe that I share my life stories online.
Honestly, I never knew I had it in me.
I thought I had already figured out my career, my passion, only to realize now that the career I chose was never my passion.
Whatever I learned in my 20s, I need to unlearn everything.
Only to realize what I want to do, what I really like to do.

Rewriting your narrative.
So here I am, writing my story to you.
I am okay with failing as an aspiring writer than not trying at all.
I am okay with putting in all the work needed to show up every day, to share my stories with people, even if no one reads them.
I can change my narrative, and it’s okay to be different things and try them out.
You start with an improved mindset.
On a journey.
On a totally different mindset- a upgraded mind-set.
One that would change my life.
Over the last two years of writing online, I’ve become unstoppable, resilient, and tried different things I would never dared to.
I decided to trust myself guts, instincts, to lean into the opportunities, embracing rejections, failures.
And not that let me stop from doing things.
Because they are inevitable and key to a successful life.
It’s the simplest productivity hack I found to believe in myself that I can do hard things.
Changing my narrative so that I attract bigger opportunities.
Looking everything as a series of experiments.
