If you watched the previous videos, you know that I recommend devoting an hour a day to the Unstoppable Author Framework. Now… you may be saying to yourself, “But I don’t have an extra hour a day.”

I think you do.

I just listened to a Mel Robbins podcast with her guest Dr. Adam Alter. He said that over our lifetimes, we’ll spend about 20 years mindlessly scrolling through our phones. That number’s just shocking. But it's also not really surprising.

If you think you still don’t have an hour a day to commit to the Unstoppable Author Framework, I encourage you to do this now: check how much time you’re actually spending on your phone. On an iPhone:

1. Go to Settings

2. Tap Screen Time

3. Tap See All App & Website Activity

4. Tap Devices to select the device you want to view

5. Tap Week or Day to see a summary of your weekly or daily usage

How much time are you spending? If it’s more than an hour, you definitely have an hour to commit to making your publishing dreams come true. I know it’s difficult. We’re all addicted to our phones to some degree. But you have to ask yourself, “Will looking at social media, reading the news or spending time on other apps transform my life the way becoming a published picture book author will?” You know the answer. So put down your phone and start writing.

Thank you so much for watching. If you got any value out of this video, please like it, subscribe to my channel and share the video with other aspiring picture book authors.
