This is a common question on many forums. And the answer is — it only takes a few seconds.
It’s all about your self-perception. Writing my first (Python) book was hard. It was hard to produce unique text, day after day, without any immediate feedback from the market. Working on such a long-term project without getting any feedback can be cumbersome. However, one day I realized that I have already written the first 100 pages of my book. So it struck me: I’m an author. My self-image changed suddenly. Now, I was not only an employee working at University, but I was also identifying with the role of being an author. Even if I wasn’t published anywhere, I still felt like an author. Everything became easier from that day onward. Because writing every day is easy if that is what you are doing. It’s also not hard for you to brush your teeth every day after it became your identity to be a person who values healthy teeth, right?
