Most people have — a gratitude journal with eleven entries, a hardback too nice to write in badly, a five-minute journal that lasted nine days and became a coaster. The usual explanation is that you lack discipline, which is both untrue and useless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe real reason is a cold start. A blank page at ten at night is an interview question you didn't prepare for, at the end of a day that used everything you had. That is exactly what the puzzle at the top of the page is there to fix — and once you understand what it's doing, everything else about finishing sixty nights becomes a set of small practical decisions rather than a test of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSixty Nights is those decisions. Where the twenty minutes actually live in your day. What to write when your head is completely empty. What to do when you have missed eleven days and the book has started to look slightly accusing. Whether anyone else in the house is allowed to read it. And what the finished thing is for, once it's finished — which is the part nearly everybody skips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEleven opening sentences\u003c\/strong\u003e — word-for-word lines to copy out on a night with nothing in it.
