Last year, I set a goal to create 100 podcast episodes about the biographies I was reading. That challenge was uncomfortable, but it led to unexpected learnings. And it led to a new habit of reading a book every week (I’ve been doing this for over a year), my software idea, and other things.

I want to set another goal for this summer. It needs to be uncomfortable but directionally congruent with my current interests. I want something that will force me to grow by pushing me to the limit. Something I can focus on intensely with an end in sight.

I’m not sure what it’ll be, but my gut is telling me I should do something related to writing. I’ve been reading a lot about newsletters, copywriting, persuasion, etc. This challenge could be a good way to put everything I’ve learned to work.

I’ll think about it more, but another summer challenge is likely to be in my future.
