Winnie Kao dropped the gauntlet. She asked anyone and everyone to join her in blogging every day for a week. Many, including me, accepted her challenge.
Making the commitment to blogging every day for seven days forced me to adjust my work schedule to write every 
day – weekends included. Yesterday I posted my blog less than 20 minutes before midnight. I could have written two posts today, but that wasn’t the agreement I made with Winnie. So . . . after getting home from my husband’s company party, I wrote a blog post. Not my best work, but a post nonetheless.
Taking the challenge to participate in the Your Turn Challenge helped me see a few things more clearly. Here are some of the lessons I learned from this challenge:
- Shipping is better than perfect.
- Your word matters.
- Habits can be set or broken in a week.
- Powerful communities can be formed in a week.
- Taking a risk can produce some wild results.
I’ve met some wonderful people this week, and I’ve read some powerful blog posts. Participating in this challenge has been the best decision I’ve made in 2015. Thanks, Winnie, and all of my colleagues who jumped on this challenge.
