You've tried:

  • Producing 5,000 words a day (killed creativity)
  • Plotting with the Hero's Journey (got bored before chapter one)
  • Buying another planner (it's in a drawer now)
  • Waking up earlier (hahaha)

None of it worked because none of it was built for your brain. You're not lazy or stupid. Your brain is just under-scaffolded.
