In 2020, I read a book called the Power of Habit and challenged myself to try something new. As someone who’s an introvert and felt shy about sharing my thoughts, one of the habits I wanted to work on was speaking up more.

I read the book in a few days and one of the key points it pointed out was that the best way to do something is to tell everyone else about it.

Apparently the social peer pressure helps. So I decided to write on LinkedIn, a space where nobody really knew who I was.

I made a random challenge to myself that I would write on the platform for 100 days straight. Sure it was a weird challenge, but I figured it’d at least help with finding a job as an unemployed university student.

It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life.
