This week we made it clear:
We intend to go out with whimper.
We’ve been running on about 50% for this whole game.
For over five months, I pushed out new content everyday.
But in the last few weeks, I’ve struggled to produce for even two days in row.
😩😭🙄
Kinda’ annoying. Kinda’ embarrassing.
Yet it’s also kinda’ encouraging.
Third Quarter of the Sixth Game
Last time one of my content streaks broke, it took several months to get back on the horse.
In fact, I basically just ignored my Daily Content Challenge until my 2020 Content Challenge began. So it’s no real surprise that I haven’t put together another double-digit streak yet.
However, this year is certainly is not like the last one.
This year, my team is twice is big and twice as well-trained. Soon, I plan to use them a lot more on my own projects. For the remainder of this month though, I’m likely to continue “coasting.” It hurts a little, but the rest of this challenge will be better off for it.
It doesn’t feel good.
It feels needed.
A reset may be in order. It’s time to check in on My 2020 Goals and re-evaluate. When it comes to content, I need to make a few significant changes.
My marketing company has been doing well. ZachBradshaw.com has been growing relentlessly.
But now feels like a great time to really get Work From Home Junkie going. Plus, I’ve got several other projects that deserve some effort over the last half of 2020.
The top of my to-do list is a competitive place.
Yet my bandwidth is ever-increasing.
Six months and 150 days worth of content in—sounds like a perfect time to take stock and adjust some plans.
If my Content Challenges have to take an ass-whooping to do so, I’m willing to pay that price.

We began the second half just like we ended the first half.
😬😞😭
Ew.
But yet again, no streaks of contentless days either.
My Credit Cards just keep on coming. They are really saving me right now. They make taking this game off look more respectable. Fortunately though, they run out soon. We almost have all of the credit cards mapped. That probably means it’s almost time for them to get their own site.
😁😈📈
Meanwhile, all of my other Brands appear to be edging closer to prominence. It’s going to be an interesting rest of the season…
Although:
Looking ahead like this is probably why game six has been such a beat down. (Or, at least that’s my excuse.)
Here’s the full play-by-play:

The Week Ahead
After last week:
My weekly content streak now is up to 0 days (begins today).
My longest streak so far was 157 days earlier in my 2020 Content Challenge, broken in Week 21.
Based on scheduling, I’m already set to extend that for 2 more.
So how close are we to winning June?
This is the definition of getting shhhhhmacked.
That’s really the only way to put it. We’ve been a major Let Down to the fans.
Unfortunately, we’ve got another quarter of pain yet to go.
