I've promised myself for a long time now that I will write a blog more frequently i.e. more than 2-3 times a year - however, despite it technically being ridiculously easy - thanks mostly to having a Hey account (read about Hey here) - I still haven't fulfilled this commitment to myself.
There are lots of reasons why - but mostly it's because I haven't made it a habit yet and because I've made it too hard for myself by writing more of an essay than a blog post and by trying to make it perfect!
So thanks to James Clear (Habits) and Greg McKeown (Essentialism and Effortless) I'm giving myself a 30 day challenge to write every day BUT limit it to no more than 200 words and only take a maximum of 15 minutes - you see even if I limit my word count, I'll spend too much time trying perfect those 200 words.
So here's day one of my 30 day challenge - it's definitely not going to be perfect - but it's going to be done.
