If You Get What You Need From a Challenge Before It’s Done
Should You Still Finish?
The default answer is YES. Of course, you should finish! But maybe finishing can take on different forms.
At the beginning of the month, I started a Music Memories challenge.
The Objective: One brief post about one music memory per day, April 3–30.
In this particular challenge, the most pressing “why” for me was number three from this list:
Why?
1. I need to write. It’s my lifeblood.
2. A theme I can connect to helps give me focus.
3. Repetition helps build momentum when you’re stuck.
4. It’s personal. No AI listicles here. ;)
I wanted to write daily posts; I was stuck on topic and time. So I staged a personal challenge to dislodge my ‘stuckness.’
TOPIC
If you’re stuck on what to write about, choose a theme you care about.
Attaching my brain to a theme removes the obstacle of not knowing what to write about and allows me to jump in, don’t think so much, just write.
30-day theme writing is not only an exercise in daily writing rhythms; it’s an exercise in pushing your writing…
