✍🏻 The power of everyday: my learnings from writing 7 articles in 7 days
Inspirations. What I've learned.
This is article 7 of 7 for The Tech Progressive writers community, where we will post 1 article a day for 7 days.
I am writing this as the last piece for the 7 days 7 articles challenge. It was fun, but not easy. It reminds me of others who are trying to hone their skills by doing it day in and day out.
Here are some of my inspirations and thoughts on what I have learned in the last 7 days.
💭 Inspirations
Music: An artist called Song a day (Jonathan Mann) produced a new song every single day for more than 4000 days (11 years).
From a nobody, he went viral, played in tv, won guinness world records and his song was used by Steve Jobs in his press conference.
“ I follow the 70-20-10 rule in making content. 70% is mediocre, 20% is trash, and 10% will be amazing” - Song a day
Art: Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) is a household name in the NFT space after selling his digital artwork called “Everydays” for $69 million last year.
He published unique digital artwork every day and combined them into a gigantic beautiful collage.
“The most important thing about art is to work. Nothing else matters except sitting down every day and trying”. - Beeple

Stand up comedy: Amazing stand up comedians like Chris Rock do hundreds of jokes ideas in an open mic bar before doing a big show on Netflix.
My best friend Nav, is also an aspiring comedian. On top of his day job as a financial controller, he performs almost every night in comedy bars all over Berlin.
🙂 What I’ve learned
From all these amazing people, I learned about perseverance. Reflecting on the last 7 days, I have learned a lot, made mistakes, and tried to improve my writings, all in public.
Along the journey, I also made new connections with people who are part of the writing group and others who are genuinely interested in the topics I am writing about.
Many thanks to Grant Nissly who organized writing community like this in thetechprogressive and 1729, and has published great articles on the importance of writing.
