How to Write 10 Medium Posts in 10 Days
Apart from the obvious answer — Just write 1 post a day and keep doing it for 10 days — there are some strategies that can help you increase the amount of output you can generate.
There are certain hurdles that will make the task insurmountable: lack of time, lack of ideas, fear, impostor syndrome, ego and many others. Here is how I deal with them:
Accountability.
Make yourself accountable. I’m using it right now. This is my first post in Medium and somebody (like you) will read it. I’m making a promise that I will deliver 10 Medium posts in the next 10 days, I don’t want to fail you, so now I have to do it. It’s out there, I don’t want to lose face, I don’t want to be inconsistent so I have to deliver.
We hate under delivering when we make a commitment with others, there is a need for consistency in our promises that push us in the right direction to get things done.
Social media is a great tool for that. If you go on FB, Instagram or Twitter and say that you are going to loose 10 kilos in a month, write a book in 6 months or run a marathon in a year, you will do it. The odds of you fulfilling that commitment increase dramatically when you go public. That is peer pressure at its best. It is very powerful and you will see results.
