I Did It! I Published A Daily Blog Every Single Day In September :)

I’m pretty happy to say that I’ve done it! This is the 30th daily blog in a row that I’ve published, after setting myself the challenge of blogging every single day in September (2017).

So what have I learnt from this challenge?

Firstly, that it was no where near as difficult as I expected. There were only a couple of times where I almost forgot to do it, or felt like I wasn’t really in the mood. On these occasions, as soon as I started writing I was fine, and so pleased that I had.

I noticed that there were only two times of day that I ever sat down to write my daily blog. Either first thing in the morning, or right at the other end of the day. I “think” this is down to lack of interruptions and the ability to just sit in peace and quiet and write.

And finally, that having a backup plan of a document (well, Evernote note) with a list of blog ideas worked amazingly well. I even wrote about this as one of my daily blogs. Having that safety net in case I didn’t have any idea of what to write was really worthwhile. This did save me a couple of times when I was at a loss for what to write about. Other days, I’d have a load of ideas so I always added them to this list for future brain freezes.

Will I continue to blog every day? I’m genuinely not sure at the moment…

Just in case you missed any, here’s the full list of what I’ve written about for the last 30 days (most recent first):
