            • "Spend 30 minutes researching relevant topics on Tuesday."
            • "Schedule a writing session with a friend for Thursday afternoon."
              • Take Action: Commit to completing at least one of these mini milestones each day for the next 7 days. Use a planner, calendar, or tracking app to schedule and monitor your progress.
              Celebrate Success: Acknowledge and celebrate each mini milestone achieved. Reward yourself for your efforts (e.g., enjoy a cup of coffee, listen to your favorite music).
              Reflect & Adjust: At the end of the 7 days, reflect on your experience. What challenges did you encounter? What strategies worked well? Adjust your approach based on your insights.
