Post 100 of #100DaysToOffload

Looks like I'm done with the challenge. 🥳 I've counted all the posts, just to be sure that I have not forgotten something. The current count is 100 because I did one post which is not included in the challenge. Which is the page about #TheMonthProject.

Statistic which shows that my current post count is at 100

It was a nice experience and definitely helped to get going with my blog. Which I thought I will abandon after 2–3 months. So I'm happy that I'm still writing after 1 year.

I never thought I could write 2 posts per week. Then the pressure increased to write 1 post per Day. Which I handled also quite well. After I got ill, the pressure increased one more time and I needed to write 2 posts each day. Which was also doable, but nothing I would want to do over a longer period. I wrote each a day a freestyle post, where I just started to write down what's in my head and the other post was some kind of planned, with more structure and images. I liked how naturally it felt and worked out. But, as I said, nothing I want to do regularly.

What I also learned is, that I liked to write but with the pressure in the end, there is not much room for improvement. Maybe a focus on less post would be better. So that I can write a post and review it multiple times before publishing it. But on the other hand, writing and publishing the post without a good review helped to get the post out in the wild. So, I've learned something but don't know what to do with it. 🫠

One of my best posts was my first one about Paperless-ngx. It still gets views. Another post got posted on Hackernews (not by me). Which was a big surprise and got me plenty of views in one day. These 2 posts are my best and leading by a wide margin.

Furthermore, I'm planning to take the challenge again and start it on February 1. Which will give me a break and free my head a bit. This time I want to focus more on technical post's. Because that's the reason I started this blog. I also played a bit with the write.as API, and maybe I can do some statistics how many technical post's I wrote already on this blog and on my first challenge. The 1. of February is also simpler to remember than the 21. of January. It should start together with my #TheMonthProject which will help me to make a productive month.

It's insane that I really did it. I'm so happy right now. 😃
