Streaks, Part 2
Today I broke one of my latest streaks. Today I didn’t contribute to any open source projects and I broke a 35 days straight streak.
It was a bit disappointing but it was also a great run. I made at least one (sometimes very small) contribution every day for the past 35 days!
To be honest, this happened because I decided to stop bringing my MacBook home. And I have no regrets. I’m much happier having less distractions at home.
Every time I break a streak, I like to think about this:
- How far will I go next time? I’m quite a competitive person and I can’t help to think about the next streak. Now the mark is quite high: 35 days! It’s a new goal for the next time. Get to 36 days, beat the last streak!
- I can’t believe I made it so far. I was sure I was going to quit after 10 days (when I beat my last streak) but I kept going. I kept thinking: How far will I go this time?
- The end of a streak brings the beginning of a new streak.
