As someone whose native language isn’t English and have recently started taking English seriously, I wanted to track my journey by sharing it through writing articles on whatever I will be learning everyday or whatever I go through on day to day basis. I will be doing this for 3 months with consistency and will track my progress just to see what I can achieve with 3 months of focus.
Why I am going with writing?
Honestly writing is something that’s not an easy task at least to me. I find writing as the work that involves deep thinking and much more detail to express oneself. When I try to write about something I see that I have to engage a lot in order to come up with something that’s understandable and also my weaknesses, mostly spelling mistakes, are revealed in a manner I can easily keep track of. As of now I am finding it very hard to come up with sentences to explain the heading itself but that’s what I want to get over so I can write better articles effortlessly that too in a short period of time.
Why I chose 3 months?
Recently I watched a video of youtuber, What Pertains to James, where he shared how to get more work done in 3 months than most people do in a year and his tips made sense to me so I decided to give it a try. The reason he gave for going with 3 months are its long enough time to see the results and short enough to create urgency which I understood to be it is doable to be consistent for this timeframe. He explains about the PIPO method which stands for pick, identify, prioritize and organize. In short the method is to pick up the goal that will have biggest impact in our life then identify the steps or tasks that we can take to yield the results we want and then prioritizing the most essential one or two tasks to tackle first and at last organize our life to follow the essential task as effortless as possible so that it becomes our second nature. That’s what I have understood about this method and choosing to go with it for 3 months.
What I will be doing mostly these 90 days to achieve my goals?
I have decided to consume as many articles as possible and finish 3-4 books within 90 days. The goal with these tasks is to have better understanding of how do authors write and have my knowledge expanded to other areas too. My plan is to study the sentence structure, grammar and vocabularies used in the books and articles by their respective author so I can have better idea of how to write a good article with a good writing style. Recently I have started reading this interesting book Psycho Cybernetics, I am finding it quite valuable and soon I will be sharing lessons I have learned from it.
Time I took to write this article
Since I am tracking and sharing my writing progress its necessary for me to keep track of the time taken to write this first article of mine. It took me 2 hours in total to write this small article. Hoping to see myself writing much better and longer article in much shorter period of time after completing this 90 day journey.
