2023 is the year I decided to take writing seriously again.

Not just whenever inspiration strikes, but consistently.

My goal is simple: publish multiple stories every week until December 31st.

So far, I’ve published 31 stories, and February isn’t even over. I also have more than 120 drafts waiting in my notes, which gives me enough ideas to keep going for quite some time.

Why make this commitment publicly?

Because writing has always been one of the most meaningful ways for me to share ideas. Whether I’m writing about minimalism, van life, health, travel or the environment, I want my work to leave people with more than just another story. I want every article to offer a new perspective, ask a better question or encourage someone to rethink the way they live.

I’ve also made a conscious decision to focus on evergreen content.

The internet is full of articles built around today’s headlines and tomorrow’s forgotten trends. I’d rather write essays that someone can discover years from now and still find useful.

That’s the kind of work I want to create.

Some of these articles are inspired by my own experiences, but I never want them to stop there. My goal is to use those experiences to explore broader ideas about consumerism, intentional living, exploration, health and the choices we make every day.

This challenge isn’t about publishing as much as possible.

It’s about building a habit.

Writing consistently forces me to think more clearly, communicate better and continuously improve my craft. Whether one person reads an article or one thousand, every piece is another step toward becoming a better writer.

If you’d like to follow the journey, you can find my latest essays on Medium. I hope some of them make you see the world a little differently.

Thanks for reading.

Teekay.
