How Are The Results So Far?
It has been 10 days since I started this 30 Days challenge for myself. I started it off with the main motivation:
Life won’t change by itself, right?
I wanted to challenge myself and see if I can hustle something out of these 30 days. If I put in consistent work, will I see results?
As compared to the first day, there has been some growth in terms of view count and followers count as I have been posting more consistently now. The volume of the work published generated some traction and that’s encouraging. I won’t disclose the increase in the number of followers or views yet as I like to check it after 30 days. I’m worried that I will be complacent after witnessing some growth and won’t stay committed. Anyway, I believe that the growth should be exponential, and let’s test that theory out in another 20 days!
Quality vs Quantity
For the past 10 days, I have been churning out articles daily and I think some of us may be wondering if that affected my quality per article. To be very honest, that was one of the main reasons why I did not want to start this challenge. I was worried that the sheer volume of articles will dilute the quality of my articles since I am rushing to publish anything daily instead of something that I thought thoroughly about.
After 10 days of posting daily, the answer is no. At least not yet. Doing this challenge made me realize that I had a lot to share in the first place. I had many ideas and thoughts that I like to pen down but never had the time or commitment to do so. What this challenge does is that it forces me to commit and hence, I managed to work on many of my older ideas and finished them. Thus, the articles that I posted in the last 10 days were all topics that I am interested in and had something to share.
Moving Forward
Of course, moving forward, I may experience days where I have nothing to share. But that’s a problem for another day and I’m not too worried about that. Here’s why!
Interestingly, the more I post, the more ideas I have. I believe as I write more frequently, my brain is actively thinking of new ideas, branching out from the current articles I’m working on. Hence, I am generating more and more ideas. But perhaps I may experience a writer drought soon! Let us see.
I’m proud that I managed to keep up with this pace and hope to see you guys in another 20 days!
