Do you know that accountability helps you stay focused on your goals?

This is me beating myself up hard for not reaching most of my Hive goals.. Well, not so hard because there was a reason to it.

Last year was actually my most productive years on Hive. I was so dedicated that even when I was sick, I knew I had to show up!

This year started off very well, but.. My major challenge was balancing school, work and Hive. It was the most difficult thing to do, then I remember, I wasn't ready to be accountable, little wonder I didn't set the 365days writing streak this year.

This time last year, I was five days away from celebrating that streak and with determination.. I finished strong.

I've learned something from all of these.. When there's no rule, there's no sin! The brain works exactly how it is programmed.

It knew this year, I wasn't going to hold myself accountable for how much I showed up, so it just felt so lazy to keep up. Well, some days I really wanted to show up, but life happened.

Next year would be different hopefully. I would be challenging myself to take and meet up with the 365 days writing streak again.

The brain loves avoidance and loves repetition. That's why every action when repeated gradually becomes our habit. What's the way out? Change pattern!

Grab a seat while I share my new strategy!

If one can change pattern and stick with it for thirty consecutive days, it becomes the new normal.

I'm only learning to balance everything and not leave anything to chance anymore.

I've began to create my daily writing schedule again like I did last year. And I think I'm gonna use a new approach. I usually love to write at the end of the day.. Very close to midnight but I realize it's not working for me anymore. Most times I just fall asleep while drafting haha. (Tired from the day's activities).

So now, I'll be waking up an hour earlier than my normal waking time and I'll be drafting during that hour leaving it for later to edit, add pictures and publish.

Discipline is the way to grow. Comfort kills productivity. Nothing great grows in our comfort zone.

It was such a beautiful year, not gonna lie. One thing that was profound about this year was my Growth career wise and my ability to tolerate pain and disappointments.

There's always room for improvement and I wish I could have an accountability partner to keep up with my Hive goals for 2026. Anyway, I'll do all I can to avoid distractions and hit my hive goals like I did last year. I'm so not impressed this year, but all of that would change hopefully.

It's been such a year. A handful of lessons, blessings and everything that came along.
