The End of Round 2 of 100 Days To Offload Challenge

  • Adam Douglas

I started round two of 100 Days To Offload challenge on January 14, 2022 and was determined to complete the challenge of writing 100 blog posts on my website during a year period. However, good intention don’t always end as we may hope for.

Reflection

I’ve learned a lot through this challenge of issues, one of which is vital is tracking ones progress in order to complete a goal. Second I need to start organizing my life better, so I have the time to do the things that matter most to me. As well, I need to use the tools that help manage tasks and blog post ideas in order to complete them. Third, I really need to start to open up more and allow myself to have short posts. None of them have to be perfect. I’m not entirely sure how I will accomplish the third one as of writing this post.

I created a simple script that I talked about in Tracking 100 Days To Offload that keeps track of my goal for the challenge. As well as use a proper tag line at the bottom of each post to show my participation and post count out of 100.

To help with task management I will be using Taskwarrior and Timewarrior. They are simple yet powerful tools that I’ve found so far priceless in getting things on track.

Challenge Results

Round two ended on January 14, 2023, and unfortunately I did not successfully complete the challenge. I posted a total of 86 posts within a year period. The majority of my posts where done when I was determined to finish this challenge successfully on November 29, 2022 by posting a total of 44 posts within 44 days. This means that I was able to post more within 44 days then I did the entire rest of the year. To me this shows that I’m more than capable of completing this challenge.

Here is a list of all the posts I’ve written during the challenge, January 14, 2022 to January 14, 2023.

Conclusion

I’ve continued to learn more about my self as a result of this challenge and that I am grateful for. I will continue to push myself on improving and writing more. Ultimately if I keep focused on my goals with intention and use the necessary tools to help manage it all I will succeed as I’ve shown myself in the post streak I had.

My life is quite busy and unfortunately that is not going to change for a while as I’ve made commitments that I need to complete and then move on. With all this said, I will not be joining in the 100 Days to Offload challenge for round three at this time. Once I have more free time available I will then. This will be a busy year, but I will succeed.
