I Failed to Write on Medium Every Day for 30 Days: Here’s What I Learned
As a professor in the creator economy, I recently set an ambitious goal for myself: write on Medium every day for 30 days.
The idea was simple: I wanted to challenge myself to write longer and more in-depth pieces than I normally do.
I’ve taken part in probably 5–6 Ship30 cohorts where writers commit to writing small essays (250–300 words) every day. I find that pretty easy now … and usually I expand my best micro essays into longer Medium posts (or combine them).
I admit … I was a bit bored at the endeavor and also disappointed in Twitter after the Elon Musk débâcles. This has brought me to Medium for more in-depth interactions with readers and other writers.
So I wanted to stretch my limits as a creator and reinvigorate my presence on Medium by committing to writing 30 days in April … during the busiest time of the year for most university professors.
Unfortunately, I failed.
