Every Tuesday, I send you a quick tip on writing, communication, and how to get important projects done.

Whether you’re an author, speaker, educator, entrepreneur, salesperson, or anyone else, I hope these tips make a difference in your week.

Quick Tip

You begin the New Year with high hopes and exciting goals. But then, life happens. Distractions arise. It's easy to get derailed.

Want to stay powerfully committed to your vision?

Write your 100 Day Letter.

Instructions

Write a letter "as if" it's 100 days from now. 

 

This can be a letter to a friend, family member, mentor, coach, or a letter to yourself. 

 

Describe all the wonderful things that unfolded (personally, professionally, or both) during the last 100 days. 

 

Write "as if" everything already happened and you're giving a recap. 

Template

Dear [Name],

 

Today is [insert future date, for example, April 17, 2025]. 

 

As I write this letter, I am surrounded by ______, feeling ______, and celebrating ______.

 

The last 100 days have been incredibly beautiful. Here's what happened:

 

I promised myself that I would ______ and I kept that promise. 

 

I worked diligently to achieve ______.

 

Even though it was challenging at times, I stayed focused and completed ______.

 

I poured into others and did acts of generosity including ______.

 

I found a simpler way to do ______ and it was easier than I thought it would be!

 

I feel so blessed and grateful that ______ happened.

I can't wait to see what unfolds in the days ahead! This moment is sweet and victorious. And, the best is yet to come.

After Writing Your Letter...

Share your letter with (at least) one person that you trust. Tell them, "This is my vision for the next 100 days. Thank you for supporting me as I make this a reality."

 

Read your letter to yourself, out loud, every morning, for the next 100 days in a row. Speak it into existence. 

 

Let this letter be a daily reminder of your priorities and the action steps you're committed to doing each day.

 

If you forget to read your letter 100 days in a row and skip some days, no problem. Reading 20 times is better than 10. Reading 10 times is better than 0. It all helps. Perfection is not required for success.

I'm writing my 100 Day Letter this week, right along with you.

Words are powerful. 

And, words combined with action make us unstoppable.
