October Writing Challenge

   During the end of August of this year, I gave myself a challenge of completing one blog post a week. Every Wednesday in September was set to be “Workflow Wednesdays,” where I utilize the Pomodoro productivity method to complete writing challenges on my twitch stream. It was a move to get me to start writing and posting in my blog more often.

  It was successful up to a certain point. I had completed one blog post a week for the first two weeks. The third week, I had other important tasks that needed to be completed within a certain time, so that is what I tackled for that week.

   The fourth week, I had run into some intense personal emergencies that kept me from streaming on the last Wednesday of September, causing me to miss out on what would have been my third and last blog post for that month.

   Nonetheless, I am still going to keep to my weekly challenge of completing one post every Wednesday. I had initially planned on completing four posts in the month of September. Extenuating circumstances made it challenging to complete, but I am adamant on taking on the challenge again this month.

   So here we go again. For the month of October, I am making a goal (like last month) of completing one blog post a week. I am doing my best not to pressure myself too much. If I have no idea on what to write about, then I’ll let it go for that week.

   I am hopeful and excited to take on this challenge again and perhaps it will be an ongoing one for the rest of the 2023 calendar year. Productivity streams have been really helpful on accomplishing this goal and providing a space and the vibes to co-work with others has been very enjoyable as well. I’ve been having a lot of fun selecting relaxing background music and ASMR sounds to work to. I hope more and more people can join the co-working fun on stream, so we can all accomplish what we need to get done together as a community! OctoDer, let's do this!
