Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post following your instructions, mimicking the style and tone of the example:
So, I started this thing 120 days ago, back on February 26th, 2024. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a personal challenge I set for myself. The idea? See if I could stick with something consistently for, well, 120 days.
The Setup
I grabbed a simple notebook – nothing special, just plain lined paper. And I started by writing down the date: 2/26/2024. Big, bold letters. Underneath that, I scribbled my goal. It changed a bit over time, to be honest, but the core of it was to build a habit.
The first few days were… rough. I almost skipped a couple of times. You know how it is, life gets in the way. Work stuff, family stuff, just plain old feeling lazy. But I forced myself to do something, even if it was just for five minutes. I figured five minutes was better than nothing, right?
The Grind
- Week 1: Total mess. Felt like I was all over the place.
- Week 2: Started to get a tiny bit of a rhythm going. Still felt weird.
- Weeks 3-8: This was the real slog. The novelty had worn off, and it was just… work. I kept reminding myself why I started.
- Week 9-16 I really did.
I experimented with different times of day. Turns out, I’m way more productive in the morning before all the chaos starts. Who knew?
There were days when I seriously questioned what I was doing. Like, “Why am I even bothering with this?” But then I’d look back at my notebook, see all those dates checked off, and it gave me a little boost. Silly, maybe, but it worked.
Getting There
I am so happy I have keeped to do it everyday, and today is the 120th day.
And I did it.
