My Goals
I want to get more content on here and for work’s website as well. I won’t post what I’ve written for work, but I will talk about what I wrote.
Another goal of mine is to be more efficient with writing and using tools that help me grow as a content writer and write in general.
The last goal is to become more accountable for what I want and to make it happen with consistency.
My Process
Starting off, figuring this out at the beginning of Day 2, select a general topic or article from my list and get an outline going before work. I need to write down the list to reference.
