You can quickly crash if you’re in pursuit of gaining momentum in specific areas.
Building your momentum by body building, upping the weight regularly and constantly, your body will eventually break and reject any more forward movement.
Building your momentum at writing is capped by the time in the day and your ability to stay awake. There’s a point where you can’t gain any more momentum.
In terms of time invested, too much of a specific good thing can quickly become a bad thing.
When you think about building momentum at work. It can’t be specific to one client, one line of tasks, one particular area.
You build momentum at work by rolling as many snowballs down the hill as you can. You build momentum in your health by exercising, eating right, sleeping right, meditating, and stretching.
Although I only write one blog post a day instead of each day writing one more than the last, I’m still building momentum in writing because I not only write one blog post a day, but I free write, I write social copy for clients, I write newsletters, I write emails, I write recommendations. I’m in pursuit of writing momentum, not an exact momentum in one of the listed areas.
The momentum you want to be after is the big picture movement, the overall momentum; not the specifics.
