The 35 Day Challenge

Over the past couple of weeks since i’ve started this blog, i’ve been struggling with actually writing anything. I just couldn’t motivate myself to sit down and write. Although i was writing things everyday, i would never write something for my blog. Which is weird i think. Especially because i love writing and the whole idea of this blog. A friend of mine had suggested, that i should just write what comes into my mind and that i shouldn’t try to be perfect, but just get my thoughts out there. And i agreed with him. But still i couldn’t really motivate myself and sit down to actually write something. It wasn’t until now, that i realized, that i was way to caught up in trying to write a really good post, instead of just starting to write. I knew in my head, that the start will and can not be perfect and that it will take time, for me to write good posts and develop my own writing style. Still i was to caught up in writing something really good. 

Now that i’ve finally realized, that this mentality is getting me nowhere and only holding me back from writing and getting better, i had an idea. I will give myself a 35-Day Challenge. Starting today with this post. For the next weeks, i will write about something i’ve learned each day (or another day if that fits better). Everyday for the next 34 Days i will write something i’ve learned down. It doesn’t have to be perfect, or a long post or especially smart. It won’t be probably. It’s just about getting into a work flow and writing everyday for 35 Days. There will always be time for writing a quick post. 

When i started this blog, i wanted to write one good article to each of the topics i’m interested in to fill my page before i make it public. So readers would have some good content to read right away, while i was writing on the next good article. But i think this striving for perfection is not getting me started. Weeks have passed and i still haven’t filled my page or published my blog. 

But this will stop now. I will write something everyday. I will publish this blog. And i will get better during those 35 Days. It might not be good right away, there will probably be a lot of grammar mistakes and other mistakes, but i will write anyway. Just for the sake of writing. And i will get better. I’m always open to tips and constructive criticism. So if you see a mistake or if there’s a tip you want to give me, please feel free to do so in the comments below. 

I love learning, and writing down what i learned each day will help me keep track of my progress and probably show me, what i’m interested in most and which topic i should dig in deeper. 

Thank you for reading this 🙂
