Just over a year ago @jongolson launched the 30-day #3stepsnoexcuses project that got a group of us to create and publish content on the Hive blockchain every day for 30 days.
That inspired @robwillmann to create his own #threesteps initiative @ https://ctptalk.com/@threesteps - and that gave me the idea to start a more modest "1 step" project of my own that I called #justonething ...
I was able to complete the #3stepsnoexcuses 30 day challenge because it came during the spring vacation. (I'm a freelance college teacher in Japan, so my year is divided between two hectic college terms and two lengthy breaks from college teaching, the lengthy spring and summer vacations.)
My idea was to give myself the target of writing about "just one thing" each day so that I could keep up the momentum of publishing conent every day during the busy spring term of 2021. However, the project petered out after just two or three posts as the daily grind of college teaching kicked in...
A Similar Routine Playing Out?
Fast forward to April 2022 and it looks as if a similar routine is playing out... I published three blog posts in early April and then absolutely nothing until today.
Actually, during the first ten days or so of April I created a lot of content, but not blog content. Instead, I was concentrating on creating email and video content for my Fill Your Funnel training course.
Then, when spring term kicked in, my content creation efforts tanked on all fronts!
2 Things To Help Improve My Output
I really want to do better in May. I'm sure I COULD create more blog content if I lived up to my #inspiredfocus tag a bit better!
So I have decided to do TWO things to help me improve in May and beyond...
I'm going to upgrade my Listnerds account from Premium to Enterprise on 1st or 2nd May...
Starting today, I'm reviving my "Just One Thing" project to see if I can create one piece of content on the Hive blockchain per day, even if I write about "just one thing" that happened to me during the last 24 hours.
Upgrading to Enterprise on Listnerds means I will be able to send two mails per day and earn solo ads more quickly. That will put more pressure on me - or give me an even bigger incentive - to create more content on the Hive blockchain that I can promote in my mails.
I will also be promoting my email courses - both my "Fill Your Funnel" course and my "Beginners Crypto Course" - and recommending other Hive bloggers blog posts that I have enjoyed reading.
If this works, it will also help me hit my "crypto accumulation targets" for 2022... and earn me a lot more Listnerd tokens that I thought possible back at the beginning of the year.
Here's to a productive and fun-filled May!
Cheers!
