Dave and I are jumping into another 30 Day Experiment. This time, though, we’re doing things a bit different.
When Dave and I created the 30 Day Experiment playbook, we committed to a timeline and it came together pretty quickly – with each of us doing the parts that we do best. It was fun. As much as I like doing my own thing, it is nice to play with others on occasion. 🙂
For this current 30 Day Experiment, instead of going through the prompts again (which can be useful, btw), we are leaning into our particular goals as our ideal selves. What actions would we take on a daily basis?
This is truly the intended next stage of this process anyway.
However, it can be easy to let things slip as we slip into our typical day-to-day routines. Since we’re not utilizing the prompts to rattle our perspectives, we decided to do a quick text check-in each morning for the duration of the 30 days. We basically say what we did the day before and what we’re going to do for the current day.
I’ll admit that might not sound life-changing, but it is a small, simple thing to keep us grounded in the experiment.
We began the process this past Saturday and it has been going well. Knowing that I have a check-in each morning makes me stay present to what I said I was going to do and more likely to remember to do it.
So what am I up to?
I have been going through a lot of creative contemplation recently. I feel a shifting in how I prioritize projects and my goals.
As always, I want more people to read and (hopefully) enjoy my stories and other creations.
I had a Substack that I posted on consistently every Tuesday for over a year and then shut down and moved my posts to my personal website for SEO purposes. I never felt like I got a lot of traction on Substack, anyway.
However, since starting this experiment, I decided to fire my Substack back up. It’s different this go round. All my writing journey stuff will stay and continue on my website. Substack will be where I offer up short stories and poems. I’m even planning on creating serial novels and sharing already-published works.
I don’t know how it will go, but I feel it is a worthy experiment.
