Day 2: I didn't quit (yay!)

Hi, or Hi again!
so I almost quit today. but fortunately I didn't. here's what happened...
So yesterday I decided I would be writing my daily random articles early in the morning as it recommended in several motivation videos that you should start your day productively. but as always (especially weekends) I woke up feeling too lazy to do anything and one thing led to another and it was already 4PM and I was still finding excuses against sitting down and just typing something.
I realized as good as the result will be I will not be able to make it even to 1 week consistently so I decided I was going to do what I always do => QUIT
I logged in just to make yesterday article private so no one will know how I started a challenge and failed the next day. and forgot all of this as if nothing happened and that's when I found that yesterday article had got 80+ views and 6 comments which is viral to me I don't even know how a first post can be seen by that many people
mainly I started this thinking there will be no one viewing any post but I really appreciate everyone that took their time to view or comment on yesterday post you really saved and motivated me to take it so seriously from now on

to someone out there struggling at any challenge I know for a fact that consistency is the key but it's easier said than done

signing off.....

+1 for what @vulcanwm said. If you are doing it for views and likes, you will hit a wall of burnout very quickly.

Keep it up! 😎

hey, it's great you didn't quit!
but remember that you'll always do your best when you do it for yourself, instead of for the views and likes
