Well Well Well...
The world sure does look different after smoking lavender with my buddy Ed.
Or maybe Im still High, Who knows.
He has a goal of 5K HP by the end of the year, a worthy goal to be sure.
Me well I don't know for myself, but here I go making an attempt at one.
Setting goals, targets, and potentially in for a serious case of square eyes.
Soo... After seeing so many people push themselves on here, I thought what can I do to challenge myself.
What can I do to promote this platform with my own skill set and power as small as it may be.
Even the smallest things can make us smile after all.
So I sat down and had a chat with a couple of people, throwing ideas about, and beer down the hatch. Nothing new there I know.
As usual things descended into general crypto ramblings and some pretty pr-pr-preposterous ideas.
So far, no new ideas from that angle. Guess it was more an excuse to drink with friends. Not that I need an excuse mind you.
I talk about Hive to anyone who will listen, and do my best to onboard people, but I have a rather small group of friends, a limited online presence. So trying to get any significant number of people on here is probably unlikely.
That begs the question then, What the fuck can I possibly do.
Where do I go from here?
Suddenly a ray of light, Inspiration or something resembling it struck me.
(Insert Talking meercat here)
Simples.
In a brief moment of semi sober clarity I had an Idea. Imma write a post a day for a month.
30 Posts 30 Days
One...
Whole...
Post...
Every single dayThat's right, no bullshit. If I want to make the platform better first step is to improve my own skills.
Now time to set myself some boundaries and a few rules...
Note to self-
- No Shit Posts
- No Recycling my own (or anyone else's obviously) material
- No cookie cutter copy and paste jobbies
- No sticking to one subject
Each post has to be 500 words minimum With Pictures That I have taken, No more stealing the wifes photos cause they are better.
My own photos...That ones gonna hurt...
If I copy and paste any text, a quote or extract of an article I cant include it in my word count.
And drumroll please....
Last of all I have to make an effort with each one.
No That'll do attitude. Each post has to be given 110 percent.
Now why the hell would you do this to yourself you may ask. Do you enjoy punishing yourself or are you just a sadist.
The answer is all of the above!
When I first mentioned this idea to my buddy he said it was a bad one. It could burn me out or simply be impossible for me to complete. Leading to disappointment, writers block etc.
So Ignoring the voice of experience, and doing exactly the opposite of what wisdom dictates. Imma just do it anyway.
I want to see what's behind Window number 2!
Truth be told I want to stretch myself as a writer, photographer, artist and generally provide some hopefully decent quality content to add to the platform.
Its to easy to get into a habit, a comfort zone, and staying inside of that box when I write, well its not going to improve my skills any.
So!
Sorry Comfort Zone, I want to meet new people. Its not you, Its me.
That's the best solution I can come up with to add value to the platform. At least until I'm a millionaire and can buy some advertising or something. Maybe get the Hive logo On a Yacht.
Shit, I forgot gets seasick, then maybe a pickup truck.
That then is the plan, so here as stated is the 1st one down only 29 more to go.
Before you say it, yes I know, There are a lot of people on here that post everyday sometimes twice a day.
Whats the big deal?
Well its a big deal to me, I take ages pouring over even the most basic post. Thats the point of Personal challenges. Self improvement.
Regardless its time to pump it up a notch.
So what you all think of the idea.
Good,Bad,Ugly?
Let me know, down below.
