The creator missed a posting day in their year-long daily video challenge. They reference James Clear's Atomic Habits to argue that occasional lapses are normal, then announce they'll add two extra posting days to stay on track instead of calling it a failure.
I have to take ownership for something. I forgot to post a video yesterday. Yep, after such a good streak of posting a video every single day, I missed one. I guess it's over then. I failed the challenge. Well, not exactly. I may have missed one day, but I haven't failed. If I stop completely, then that's a failure. I recently read Atomic Habits, and one of the key things about building habits is that at some point you will miss a day. Sometimes life just gets so busy that you simply run out of time, and that's okay. Your job isn't to be perfect. Your job is to get back up when you fall and keep going. So I'm not gonna let one missed day stop me. Instead, I'm gonna add two more days to the challenge to make up for it. So welcome to day 17 of the one year of posting short-form videos plus two days challenge.
You can and should improve over time... @EricThayne #entrepreneurship #mindset #teenpreneur
