“You are what you continually do. Excellence, therefore, is a habit.” — Aristotle
In this episode of The Green Writer Show, S. D. Smith and Brett Harris unpack why habits—especially the non-writing ones—are the quiet engine behind a fruitful writing life. Instead of chasing big bursts of motivation, they make the case for small, sustainable rituals.
From decision fatigue to digital distractions, we explore the unseen drains on mental, emotional, and spiritual bandwidth—and how simple, intentional choices (tidying your space, pre-planning mornings, blocking time-waster sites) can transform your consistency at the desk.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why steady habits are more effective than massive efforts
- How decision fatigue undermines creativity—and how to minimize it
- Practical ways to protect your mental energy before you write
- The surprising power of a clean, intentional workspace (physical and digital)
- Tools and settings to block distractions and reclaim focus
- A simple mindset shift: don’t let life happen to you—happen to it
If you’re ready to fight for the habits that make excellence possible, this episode will give you concrete steps to start today.
