You don’t need more hours in the day. You need a better process.
Stage 32 CEO RB (@rbwalksintoabar on social media) breaks it down: The reason most people fail at their goals? They don’t make them attainable. They don’t set themselves up for success.

Ashley Renee Smith I like how RB simplifies it, 'it's just about discipline and repetition'. So true! This week i'm still preparing for my acting show case. I go over my lines every night and plan to spend 2-3 evenings this week answering Uta Hagen's questions about my character and thinking about how to embody her. I definitely think it is about doing a little bit every day, even if all i can manage is 15 mins

Well said.... The key is accomplishing one thing a day, but consistently and before you know it you've achieved your goal. It is the micro-goals that lead us to the big goals. Especially in screenwriting , because we have those days when we are on top of the mountain, but we can be sure that it will be many valley experiences as well. The days when we don't feel like writing and enduring the mental and physical pressure, and the countless hours that it takes daily to face a blank sheet of paper. It is at those moments where the real, deep, work is done, and we must be determined to "show up" for ourselves.

Absolutely, Mone't Bradley, you nailed it. Showing up, even on the days when the inspiration isn’t flowing, is what builds real momentum. Screenwriting asks so much of us emotionally and mentally, but those micro-goals, that quiet daily discipline, are what carry us through the valleys and eventually lead to finished pages and powerful stories.

Alexandra Stevens, Fifteen minutes a day may not feel like much in the moment, but that steady, focused effort builds into something really meaningful over time. Rooting for you as you prepare for your showcase. Sounds like you’re laying a strong foundation!

Consistency. Making the time to do the work instead of waiting to find the time.

Take baby steps. As with any goal not just screenwriting. Set your intention then list what you need to accomplish that. Then take a baby step. Write one page. Send a DM to contact on Stage 32. Join Actor's Access. Read the trades. Go for a walk to get the creative juices flowing. I agree with Ashley Renee Smith Set aside 15 minutes a day. If that means getting up 15 minutes earlier just so you write before you day starts, do it.
