Do this if you're finding it hard

I’ve been on my bike this week, riding a 225 mile off-road loop around the south of England.

• 225 miles off-road

• 2 days

• 23 hours ride time

• 3 hours sleep (wild camping)

Needless to say, it was a major physical and mental battle. Relentless climbs, loose surface and overnight rain tested me to my limits.

What you might class as “Type 2 Fun”.

To get round, you repeat all kinds of mantras to yourself along the way. One that I kept coming back to was this:

Just keep moving, and at some point you’ll make it.

(Admittedly needs a bit of work, but it did the job).

Which brings me to the point of this email.

Having the stubbornness to make consistent progress towards a long term goal applies just as much to life and work as it does to endurance sports.

The finish line is often out of sight, but you must move in its direction regardless.

Some days progress is rapid and exciting. Other days it’s slow and mundane. Both move you forward.

So if you’re starting a new project, or deep into one and losing motivation, just do something everyday to move forward. My coach used to tell me that if you consistently do the inputs, the output is inevitable.

So, just keep moving ✌🏼

Here are some of my small wins this week:

• First template is about to be published to the Webflow marketplace

• Designs complete for template #3

• Doubled @unweb.studio Instagram following from 50 to 100

Have a good Sunday!
