My 700 Daily Posts Reflection

03 Oct 2026 #writing

This is my daily post #701.

This last 100 posts felt like crossing the final line in a marathon, without realizing how you got there.
It was just one foot in front of the other—or one post after the other.

My daily writing started in Nov 1st, 2024.
I was recovering from burnout and writing was my way of bringing joy back to my life.
I knew writing would take me somewhere else.
And I was right.
It’s one of the habits has changed my life.

In these last 100 days, my blog turned 8 years, I finished another book, Street-Smart Coding Manifesto, and I started a Substack publication to document my mission of living free from burnout.
