Hi there,
Are you eating enough vegetables? Drinking enough water? Sleeping enough?
And…. writing enough posts to get 1.000.000 VND?
If you are reading this Notion page, I assume that you are one of the students from WOTN #3, seeking advice to get over this demanding challenge. Hope that my knowledge and experience can help you somehow.
The first rule:
<aside> ⌛ Never say that you don’t have time to think about what you will write every day.
</aside>
You always have dead time, which means “when you are doing mundane tasks that do not require your full attention”. For example, when commuting on a bus, driving your motorbike to the office, waiting in line at the grocery store, or doing household chores like cooking, cleaning, or laundry.
Now, you know how much dead time you have a day?
With that huge amount of dead time, you can outline your next paragraph, even your today post, or figure out solutions to any writing problems you have been dealing with.
So, don't worry about “not having enough time to write” or something like that. You need to leverage these small pockets of time each day to write consistently.
The second rule:
<aside> 📝 Always have at least 2 backup pieces of writing ready to publish.
</aside>
When life gets chaotic and your writing time decreases, simply publish one of your backup posts. Your readers will appreciate your consistent posting schedule, and you won't feel pressured to create new content when you're unable.
Maintaining a queue of backup writing also gives you more flexibility to take time off when needed. One is not enough, as during the 30-day writing challenge, many scenarios can happen, such as unexpected important work projects, mental breakdown, writer's block, etc. Thus, you need more than one day to fight with life or yourself.
