The 15-Minute Routine That Helped Me Stick to Something for '1 Week' After Always Quitting
"I have no time," "I can't write," "I can't keep up with my side hustle" can be solved✨
Hello☀️ I'm Ru-Nurse😊
While working as a nurse, I am challenging myself with "ChatGPT x Side Hustle" and aiming to eventually "graduate from nursing."challenging myself with "ChatGPT x Side Hustle" and aiming to eventually "graduate from nursing."
Days when I felt pathetic for not being able to stick with anything
Even when I want to do a side hustle, I get caught up in work and chores, and before I know it, it's night🌙
I open my computer, but I can't write anything, so I just close it again.
I repeated the same thing over and over again.
"I'm busy today, so I'll do it tomorrow"
"I guess I'm just not cut out for this"
Contrary to my anxious feelings, my hands wouldn't move...
The feeling of blaming myself was crushing me every day.
The "15-minute routine" that saved me
The reason I was able to move forward was when I decided to "do it for just 15 minutes a day"⏰
Thinking about completing one whole article felt too heavy to start.
But by limiting it to "just 15 minutes," I strangely felt motivated.
Small habits saved me.
ChatGPT gave me a push
Even so, there were days when I would stop, wondering, "What should I do first?"
That's where ChatGPT came in handy.
For example👇
"Think of 3 patterns for today's article introduction"
"Summarize these notes into 200 characters"
"List 5 reasons why side hustle beginners often stumble"
Just by throwing it at the AI, text appears on the blank screen.
Being able to "just get started" was a huge step forward.
"Visualizing" with Google Sheets
The next thing I used was Google Sheets. I didn't do anything complicated; I just wrote down the date and the time spent working.
Example👇
・9/1 15 minutes Created introduction with ChatGPT
・9/2 20 minutes Article draft
・9/3 15 minutes Decided on title
Even just doing this much makes me feel, **"I can actually do this!"**
Seeing it as a number makes me feel like I'm really getting things done 😆
"Narrowing down tasks to 3" in Notion
And what I can't do without is Notion.
I write down only 3 things I need to do today here.
Example 👇
Think of an introduction for the article
Decide on a title
Record in a spreadsheet
👉 Because I narrow it down to 3, I can tackle it in 15 minutes.
The moment I check them off when finished, a sense of accomplishment washes over me.
Furthermore, if you ask ChatGPT 👇
"Summarize today's tasks into 3 items"
you're all set just by pasting it into Notion.
The version of me that kept it up for a week
By combining "ChatGPT + Spreadsheet + Notion" in this way, before I knew it, I had kept it up for a whole week🎉
My writing speed increased, and the process became smoother.
Above all, the fact that I "stuck with it" broke the belief I had long held that "I'm someone who can't stick to anything."
From "the me who can't" to "the me who makes progress little by little."
This change was the greatest achievement of all.
A step you can take starting today
By stacking 15 minutes a day like this, I found I had kept it up for a week before I knew it.
What's important isn't doing a lot at once, but continuing to work on it a little every day.
That was the shortest path to becoming a "capable me."
The flow is simple 👇
Ask ChatGPT, "Summarize what I need to do today into 3 items"
Paste into Notion to create tasks
Record in a Google Spreadsheet
**You'll surely be able to meet "the version of you that has progressed a little more than yesterday."** 🌱
