 Hi, I'm George Cao. In today's short video, I'm going to inspire you with the possibility that you could write a new and thoughtfully edited book each year, or even write multiple shorter books each year. So let me show you this simple calculator I've created to help you see that this is possible. We're going to start with writing half a page a day. Can you write half a page a day? Yes you can. I'm not talking about perfect writing. I'm just talking about writing half a page a day because you can always rewrite, you can then edit, you can rewrite, edit, etc. And I'm going to go easy on you and just say you're going to write five days a week. Some authors are really hardcore and they write every single day. One example is Seth Godin. You can just Google Seth Godin, G-O-D-I-N. He writes a blog post every single day and then he turns occasionally, he'll turn some of his blog, a bunch of his blog posts into a book. Okay, so let's just say you're going to write five days a week and you're going to start with just half a page a day. Now, an important part of this program is that you increase your page limit a little bit every week. So I'm going to go easy on you and say that every additional week you're just going to increase how much you write by just one quarter of a page. Again, easy to do, especially as you get into the rhythm, adding just a little bit more each time is easy, relatively easy to do. And I'm also going to go easy on you and say and give you a maximum so that you're not eventually going to be writing a thousand pages a day, but you're eventually maximum only going to be writing three pages a day. And by the way, once you get access to this template, which I will give you free access to with the link attached to this video, when you come into this template, you'll notice that you'll be able to double click on the yellow cells and edit them. So let's say instead you want to start with one page a day and see what happens. Then the calculator will calculate differently. But let's just start with half a page and then again, you can also edit these things. Now, how long will it take to write a book? Now, how long is a book? I'm going to assume that one book is 200 pages and you can also edit your assumption for that by clicking on this and changing the assumption. But I'm just going to say 200 pages. Now, let's scroll down and find out how long it takes to write a 200 page book. You start to see this number show up over here. It's going to take you less than 20 weeks, about 19 weeks. That's less than five months to write a 200 page book by just starting with half a page a day and increasing your weekly writing, increasing your daily writing each week a quarter of a page and maxing out that just writing three pages a day. Isn't that amazing? Because you could see the total pages written. It's all calculated here for you. So 200 pages you've gotten on your five months. Let's say that you want to write a 100 page book in six months and you want to write for and how long does it take to write 100 pages in this program? It takes about 12 weeks to write 100 pages and then you spend about seven weeks editing those 100 pages. So instead of writing each day, you're editing three pages a day. Now you've written and edited a 100 page book. Instead of 200 pages, be basically writing and editing 100 pages in under six months. Now what if we were to increase the maximum daily limit of writing to five? Okay. Now, by the way, this calculator also calculates automatically for this automatic calculation. In a 52 week period, you could write three and a half 200 page books. Or again, if you just want to write 100 pages, you could write, let's say you want to write and rewrite and rewrite and edit. Okay. Basically three and a half cycles of 100 pages. I'm sorry. Three and a half cycles of 200 pages. So it could be seven cycles of 100 pages that you could have done in one year. So a very thoughtfully written 100 page book a year, or you could do a very thoughtfully written 200 page book a year. So again, three and a half cycles, right? If you up this to five pages maximum per day, but just starting with half a page, that's five 200 page books a year. Or you could say two thoughtfully edited 200 page books a year. Isn't that amazing? Again, you could up this to 10 pages and you could see the limit keeps, the number of books keeps going up. So this is very, it's more doable than you can, than you think. It just takes a little bit of discipline each day. I invite you to use this template. Again, I'll give you the link in the notes attached this video, but when you come into the link that's, that you'll see, you'll then need to click on this button that says use this template. Click on this uses template button and Google will prompt you to log into your Google account to create a private template for yourself. It's free and I look forward to hearing how this template inspires you to write more consistently and if it inspires you to start writing a book or even complete a book, please comment under the video and let me know. I'd love to hear it. Until the next video, I wish you just a little bit of discipline every day to accomplish great things.
