I try to reach my daily word count before I work out. Since exercising every day is already an established habit, linking it to my writing goal should make it easier to stay consistent.

I track and reflect publicly on X and on my blog, which adds an extra layer of accountability and pressure to follow through.

Managing my energy will likely be the biggest challenge. I’m currently dealing with some nutrition-related health issues, but I’m hopeful that I can improve things over the course of this year.

I’ve chosen TrackBear.app. It’s simple and does exactly what I need — nothing more, nothing less.

That sounds reasonable. Sometimes I don’t feel like working out, but once I’ve finished my warm-up, I no longer question whether exercising is an option — I just do it.

I suppose the same principle applies to any habit.

I’ve decided to aim for 1,000 words a day. I’ve handled that kind of workload before, and I’m confident I can do it again.

Writing 1,000 words for 2,000 consecutive days is still a massive challenge. But committing to it publicly will help me stay accountable — and stick with it.

As promised, here is the beginning of my five-year Grok diary. Every day, I’ll ask Grok one question with the goal of becoming a successful indie author within 2,000 days.

The project started on February 22, 2026. It will conclude around the end of 2031. I’ll document the entire process transparently on X in real time. On my blog, I’ll share each Q&A along with additional comments and reflections.

Let the fun begin.

5 years are 1,826 days – I’ve expanded it to 2,000 days as that simply sounds better and is easier to read for everyone who stumbles over my tweets.
