Hello and welcome to the thirtieth - and the last - day of the June 30 days writing challenge. It's been a really difficult challenge this time, because the topic wasn't your usual "just write something". It was something that actually challenged the participants - me included - to dig deep down and come up with something relevant. The difficulty was very apparent in the number of posts and participants, it's probably the least popular challenge, in terms of participation, that I ever come up with on Steemit. 

With that being said, I do congratulate all the people who had the courage and persistence to join it and write as much as they could.

The last third of the challenge was especially difficult for me, as I really had to work hard to find relevant topics and to write them in a palatable, yet short and swift form.

# Just Stick To The Task

As you already guessed, today's topic is based exactly on the experience of this writing challenge. It was tough. Not only do I have a day job, which is somehow demanding, but I also had a daily technical article (the market snapshot) and, on top of this, I had to come up with another daily article, that had to be interesting, relevant, easy to read and compelling. 

Sheeesh...

I confess I was very close to quitting at least 3 or 4 times, and yet, I found a way to stick to the plan. There were days when writing the article was just the last thing before going to bed, after a very long day, but I went to bed with a respected promise.

So, today's life hack is simple: if you committed to something, just don't quit. Just stick to the task. Do it. Don't complain (it will only drain your energy out). Don't brag either, when you made it. 

Just do whatever you set yourself up to do and move forward. Never, never, never give up.

Once again, thanks to each and every one of you who were part of this challenge. If, after these 30 days, at least a part of you is better, then my job here was done.
