I got a notification today that I've published on hive every day consistently for one month. That's not news considering I've been active for the past two years. Well, it's sort of news for me. At the start of May I noticed that I'd only gotten the monthly author badge once ever.
That was odd but it was true. I do publish every day technically but my timing sometimes doesn't cut it. Some days, I publish at night time, well over midnight and it doesn't count as the day's post anymore because it's already the next day.
I had a habit of procrastinating writing and completing my post because I always thought I could do it before 12 am. But it doesn't always work out because I get occupied with other stuff or I don't feel well enough to get on with it.
When I saw I had only made monthly author once in the last two years, I made it a personal goal for the month of May to not miss a day of publishing. Instead of aiming for publishing before 12 am at least, I aimed for publishing even before evening.
I almost slipped in the last few days and published at almost midnight sometimes, I guess I got lucky. It was pleasing to get the notification from that I published every single day in May and I gave myself a mental high-five.
I have now been a monthly author twice and I hope to go again this month. It has been easier being consistent since I prioritized publishing more during the day and I will keep up with that.
One thing that helped is immediately writing my thoughts as they come straight into my drafts and it makes my thought process easier when I'm eventually ready to complete and publish my post.
It really was a busy month for me and I absolutely loved seeing that red dot on the notification icon everyday. I also love that I enjoyed writing every single post and not once did I shit-post. Cheers to me, we go again this month!
Thanks for reading!
