Reflecting on August: Challenges and Achievements in Writing
Written on
Chapter 1: Overview of Achievements
As August drew to a close, I found myself reflecting on the goals I had set for myself on Medium. With just a week left in the month, I realized it was the perfect time to share my experiences regarding the challenges I faced and the successes I celebrated.
One of my primary objectives was to produce at least one article daily. By August 25, I had already completed 37 articles, averaging more than one piece per day. This milestone is particularly gratifying considering I took a five-day break during which I was away from my laptop and Medium.
Section 1.1: Reading Progress
In addition to my writing goals, I also aimed to enhance my reading habits. I managed to boost my reading rate from 41% in July to 45% in August. This upward trend gives me optimism that I can achieve my goal of surpassing 50% by year-end.

Section 1.2: Financial Milestones
Perhaps my most significant accomplishment was surpassing my monthly earnings target of $100 on Medium. Despite a decline in views compared to July, which made me anxious about meeting my goal, I managed to earn $138 with nearly a week remaining in the month. I anticipate reaching approximately $150 by August 31.
Chapter 2: Conclusion and Community
Overall, August proved to be a month of both relaxation and success regarding my activities on Medium.
In this video, I share my mid-year reflections, including a planner setup, a review of my June spending, and a recap of my reading list for July. It's a great way to visualize my progress and set new goals for the months ahead.
