Lost yourself? Answer this question to yourself 30+ times:

Goal of the day: 180 words. Written: 280. Photo author: Vi Kontrimaitė

Here's an exercise:

1. Set yourself a goal the question of why you are doing something.
2. Write. A list, a scribble on a page, a shower of thoughts; a pencil or a computer.
3. No matter. Just write - quickly and without thinking too much, and don't stop to answer that one question. If you want, you can put on some techno-focus music, but it's not necessary.
4. When you feel like you can't think of anything, stop, lean back, think some more.
   If there's anything else, keep writing until you need a break again. When you can't think of anything in 10-20 seconds, then stop. No more writing.
5. Pause. It can be 1 minute or 3 weeks. Whatever you like.
6. Look at your answers. What did you find?

Do this and you will discover your answers.

And here's the exercise I did. Example:

Why am I writing? I write because:

• I want to become famous;
• I want to learn something new;
• I want to teach others this new thing;
• I want to expand my knowledge;
• I want to leave something valuable behind;
• I want to be (a bit) cool;
• I want to make money;
• I want to do something;
• I want to change my computer keyboard;
• I want to help others;
• I want to calm down while writing;
• I want to reassure others;
• I want to say words to others;
• I want to say this to myself, because it is only when I write that I understand the words in my head better;
• I want to change Lithuania and maybe the world;

Why am I looking for a wife? I'm looking because:

• I want to hug my girlfriend in her sleep;
• I want to put my tool in its holster;
• I want to smile;
• I want to laugh with her;
• I want to write letters;
• I want to eat. Tasty. And so I can learn to cook from it;
• I want a kiss on the cheek;
• I want to be hugged unexpectedly, sitting in the lotus position on the bed and reading books;
• I want to calm down;
• I want to frown;
• I want to believe in someone else;
• I want to cry;
• I want to rub my head like a cat against another person's shoulder;
• I want to giggle;
• I don't want to be afraid for the future;
• I want to worry about an unplanned pregnancy;
• I want to feel a little hysteria;

My mind is full of answers again!

Well thought of,
Daniel
