Welcome back to The Jim Kroft Podcast.

After 117 consecutive weeks writing my Substack, I’ve learned this:

Consistency isn’t about willpower.
 It’s about building the kind of system that sustains you when life doesn’t.

In this episode, I break down the 4 practices that helped me join Substack’s top 1% for consistency — without burning out or losing the joy of writing.

Whether you're starting a creative routine or trying to reconnect with your voice, this episode offers tools you can actually use — and a mindset to help you keep going.

What you’ll learn:

• 🗂️ How I capture ideas so I never start from scratch
• 💬 Why commenting on Substack Notes leads to better writing than scrolling
• 📓 How private writing unlocks your clearest public work
• 🧱 Why essay writing is the fastest path to finding what you really think
• 🔥 What 117 weeks taught me about staying consistent — and staying human

Let’s get into it.
