Well, I decided to do 2 articles a day challenge for 90 days straight. I think, the intro sounds kind of boring doesn't it? Well, let me catch you up of how I decided to do this challenge.
First things first, I love to write more than speaking. While writing, I am coherent, I am able to express honestly and it helps to keep my brain active because what I think, I write it directly. It is play for me. Unfortunately, since I procrastinate and because of the same excuses, I feed myself every single day which varies from 'I am not in the mood', 'I do not know what to write', 'What will people think of me? The structure needs to be edited since it is not perfect'; I end up not writing at all and voila: what I have is a big fat zilch in output and numerous plans in my head. So, to get the hell out of my head, I gave myself this challenge of writing 2 articles a day where I will be brazen, honest, open and write of what is going on in my life, what insights I am getting and of course one mandatory article on my coding journey. Today, I wrote about Android Back to Basics .
So, the question that arises is:
Why 90 Days
Well, I have heard a wise man say that 90 is the magic number. If one remains consistent for 90 days, it eventually becomes a habit and voila, it becomes effortless. So that's why 90 days
I also want to learn the following while doing this challenge:
1. Be open and vulnerable to people
I am uptight and my guard is up. I do not like to be open to people but when I write, it is a flow of thoughts and creativity. I write what I feel, I write what is coming to my mind, no veils. I am open when I write. I am hoping that by writing excessively, I will learn to be more open to people and speak what is on my mind without hesitation.
2. Fuel my brain
Writing helps in getting the juice flowing. I think, it is always better to write and express which leads to the juices flowing in the brain. Once a thought is expresses, I think, I allow my brain to come up with fresh new thoughts. So, more the reason to write and experiment with ideas that come by.
3. Sense of happiness
Writing brings me joy and it is a shame that I do not do it often. I feel great and amazing when I write, express and share my thoughts with others. It is also a very viable means of communication between people who are staying far apart. Also, in this digital community, aren't we all connected and I think it is a boon that there is a skill called writing through which thoughts can be expressed and shared amongst all kinds of people, no matter the distance. The world indeed becomes a small community.
Well, these are the reasons I have taken up this writing challenge. It is definitely fun and amazing. Hope to connect with you all through the medium of writing. Till then Adios amigos!
