Quitting the articles…

More than two months ago, I’ve decided that I am going to write article each day. This one is 71st in a row and it will be the last one in this streak.

I have to say, I was really surprised for all positive input which I’ve received over this time period. I am not sure, if I can express the happiness which I feel by words, when somebody tell me that he found my content useful. It is truly amazing.

I probably never explained why did I start writing the articles at the first place. There are two main reasons.

(1) I consider articulated speech, thinking and writing as most important ability to gain. As everything, it takes practise to develop and master this skill. When you write, you basically put your ideas into computer screen and then try to formulate them in a way which is understandable for your readers. You basically try to improve your way of thinking every time you do that.

I see noticeable difference when it comes to expressing my thoughts. It is truly amazing that you can see this kind of results in the short period of time such 2,5 months.

(2) Sometimes, I come across interesting content. Why not to share interesting learnings from it? I truly believe that these kind of articles might help somebody. So why not to write them if I can?

So why am I quitting if I received some positive feedback and those two reasons above are still valid?

One of the feedback which I received was that my articles are not that much connected to each other. And it is true. One day I wrote about money, second one about intermittent fasting and third one it was about some book. Some people were expecting that after the first “money” article I will continue on that topic, so it was unpleasant surprise when they found out that the next article was on completely different topic. And they have a point.

So it made me thinking. Maybe it will be interesting to try to express the ideas in a bigger block. Something bigger than the article. Something like a book.

So from tomorrow, instead of writing the article I will work on slightly bigger project, which I want to present when finished as a whole. I will do my best to create something amazing, which actually has the value and the potential to improve reader’s life.

And I have to say, I am excited! From my perspective, is the goal worth pursuing.

P.S.: I will definitely hire somebody for proof reading, so it should be less painful than reading the articles with gramma mistakes :-).

Thanks for tremendous support so far and as always, thanks for reading!
