"Make your success inevitable before you start Marie Forleo describes how she turned a 30-day personal writing challenge into a success not through willpower alone, but by proactively removing obstacles beforehand — getting her partner on board for weekend writing time and creating a tracking system, because "studies show that people who track and monitor what they do are way more likely to stay on track."
