Start, not procrastinate.
-------------------------

_Congratulations on starting your reading._

At the start of everything on The Mirror Road, I was a little confused about some topics. I have some questions like “Who cares what I’m thinking?” and “Can I make writing sustainable? ” I'm probably going through what most mirror writers go through in the first place right now.

According to all the questions, I know one thing. **Starting is important**. That’s why I’m writing this draft now.

> Despite all the worries, getting started is definitely the most important step to keep the whole process going. So when I realize that I'm overthinking most of the time, I stop thinking and get to work. I would recommend this to anyone who is overseeing their goals. **Procrastination is the enemy of success.**

### So, what should you do if you want to write a mirror article?

*   Choose a topic: Pick a topic that interests you and that you have knowledge about.
    
*   Create a detailed outline: Determine where you'll start, where you want to go and how you want to finish your article.
    
*   Do research: If you don't have enough knowledge about your topic, do some research.
    
*   Start writing: Start with the first sentence. Though it may be difficult to start, it will get easier as you continue.
    
*   Give yourself time: Not everyone can write an article quickly. Give yourself time and focus on writing a high-quality article.
    

Starting is the first step to progress. Have confidence in yourself and get started.

> ### Focus on the process, not the result.

Most of the time we focus on the result, but the most important thing is that the process takes place somehow.
