I tried this for awhile (3-4 months) and it was extremely effective. Two rules.

1) I only talked about what I did

2) I only talked about things that occurred in the last <pick a time horizon>

It biases you for action.

I’m curious - did you stop? Why? What did not work about this?

First off, it was kinda hard. I am old and have lots of knowledge.

I went through some time where I didn't have much to pull from, so I found myself "being silent". Basically when talking with friends and bs'ing, I'd have to keep my mouth shut on the _should_, go do it and the next time show what I worked on.

It means getting off soshmeeds (like hn) and doing some sht, documenting it enough to explain it. I restarted from the comment I typed yesterday. :)
