my personal blog personal challenge

Print Friendly

Inspired by my friend Claudio, that recently started his new project “40, and now?” I decided to revamp my personal blog with a personal challenge.

I realized what is preventing me to post in this blog is not lack of time, lack of arguments or lack of ideas - I actually often find myself thinking about something I’d like to share here.

What is stopping me is the lack of self discipline, the very thing that makes a difference between me and the people I admire the most.

The challenge is to write one blog entry a week for the next 4 months. Total 16 posts.

Here are my rules, written more for myself than for any reader:

  • one blog entry a week, probably published on Monday evening as Monday is my rest day, for 4 months;
  • I won’t judge, I won’t tell people how to live, I won’t tell anyone what is right and what is wrong;
  • I’ll talk about my life and my thoughts. I think is worth – Like it or not – do what you want with it;
  • I’ll write for me. I’m aware that this blog is in the 99.99% category of blogs read by few friends and an English student (my mom) and I don’t plan on doing anything to change this;

 

Having said that, beside exercising self discipline and English writing I hope to attract like-minded people… if any :)

  1. Fantastic, Daniele. It’s as good a challenge as NaNoWriMo. I am also intimidated by the NaNoWriMo’ers who crank out thousands of words a day, but there are plenty of people – like myself – who use it as a promise to self to generate material. Your blog-challenge is a good example of that category. I’ll follow you!
