Finish writing my novel. Sure, I write after/before work (as did many famous writers as described in the really great book[1]), but it's HARD, and it's taken me 2 years to finish a first draft.
I daydream about my schedule: up at 8, exercise, write/edit from 9-12, then again from 1-2,then do the rest of the mundane stuff that builds up in a day. 100k polished words in 6 months, easy peasy.
Its a fun project, I did this back in 2012 or some such, and gained 5x different mini projects out of it (shorts, etc.)
Makes you crunch out quantity, which is good for aspiring authors. Learning how to say "it doesn't matter" until you start to edit. Meaning, just get it done.
