30 Things I’ve Learned From My First 30 Days on Medium
How many times can you refresh the stats page before it’s considered a problem?
The government had just put my local area into complete lockdown, and before this life had felt almost normal; we could still hang out with friends, go to a restaurant; it was good to escape the four walls of my kitchen. However, a lot of free time was on its way, and not one to sit around and do nothing when an opportunity presents itself; I started to write.
I don’t remember exactly when I signed up for Medium, but an email with lots of great stories by great writers would land in my inbox every day at 8 am. As I read through them (usually whilst sitting on the loo) I remember thinking ‘I could do this’, mainly because I like writing and know about stuff too.
Many articles and a steep learning curve later, I began writing this article. I didn’t quite realise the challenge I set myself when I was left scratching my head by lesson 15, but if we don’t challenge ourselves from time to time then what’s the point of anything? Go big or go home, as they say.
So what 30 lessons have I learned from my first 30 days on Medium?
