Arghh, I hate when it comes to challenges against my consistency matters. Most of the time, I couldn’t reject it. Yeah, and besides another goal that I have for 2024, this goal just pops up into my mind in the middle of January. But let’s see, what can I go through till December 31, 2024?

The Start.

Everyone has a reason; you can’t deny it for everything that they did. Today, I was opening my Medium account and saw there’s a New Year Discount (25%). After making several counts, I decided to click on the payment.

Arghhh, to be honest, my budgeting this month is already messed up 🤣. How can I start this, then? I don’t know. Let’s begin and forget anything else, isn’t? ehe.

It took me to pay from $50 become $37.5, and I fell into it. I want to join a Medium membership since 2022, but the price could be more fair for me at that time, wkwk.

Well, one year has passed. I want Indonesia to get the Medium partnership program, but I need help to get through. I’ve been waiting since 2021, and there is no sign it will come early. So, I want to commit first.

The Commitment.

I was inspired by this writing by Nimish Jalan. I will follow you, sir.

Well, let’s make this article the start of the never-ending journey of writing. Since it’s a consistency challenge, I will post my article in any sub-theme, following my mood on that day. Not just technology and programming but also daily thoughts, like poems and reviews about some place, movie, or anything else, anything I will write for the sake of my consistency.

In the other part, I will self-publish the story for the first time and join it in any publication. Because every publication needs review, and it will take time, so I can’t post daily if it stuck with me.

What if I fail?

This is the important part; no one wants failure. But I will prepare for that like every stoic person that I have read. What if I fail? I will send in the amount of $5 for everyone (organic) who likes this post and follows me. Since I need to contact you and ask you for the transfer information (one bank account/person). But, only that’s if I’m failed. :p

it is only valid until my first consistent failure of daily writing in 2024, so feel free to like this post and think that I will fail as long as I’m not dead yet

What if I’m successful?

Hell yeah, this is the part that almost everyone loves: the present. I promise I will buy a Garmin watch at a minimal Garmin Forerunner 265s. It’s a bit pricy, but it’s worth it if I can finish this challenge by myself.

The Exceptions.

One year is not short if we live day by day. There may be situations where I couldn’t access my property to write. So, I am deciding to make a conditional like this.

I will give myself three hearts, and it will fall one any day I don’t write. But also, it will grow by one after passing the new month. But the maximal is only 3. So I will never regain the heart to become 4. hmm, quite challenging.

The Journey Start.

I am already talking about the start, the commitment, and also adding the Exceptions. So, let’s write until the end of 2024. Let’s mark January 15, 2024, as the beginning, and let’s add a node on December 31, 2024, as the ending of this journey.
