2026 Content Challenge

Okay, let’s be real.

I kinda’ suck at these Content Challenges.

2024 was pretty darn good. Then 2025 started strong… before I totally sh!t the bed.

So once again, I’m getting off to a late start.

The only real consolation I have is that I a late start is better than no start at all.

And ya know what?

I’ll take it!

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I pretty much have to anyway. It’s either accept the late start or give up—and I definitely ain’t doing that!

At this point, I’m not sure if I’m a mentality monster or just a glutton for punishment. After seven years of trying and failing, hope begins to wear thin.

But then I look at the stats…

Daily Content Challenge – Produced content at least 301 out of 411 days (73%). Longest content streak: 97 days. Longest no-content streak: Unknown; 13 days max.
2020 Content Challenge – Produced content 300 out of 366 days (82%). Longest content streak: 157 days. Longest no-content streak: 6 days.
2021 Content Challenge – Produced content 332 out of 365 days (91%). Longest content streak: 67 days. Longest no-content streak: 4 days.
2022 Content Challenge – Produced content 195 out of 365 days (53%). Longest content streak: 217 days (cont’d from 2021). Longest no-content streak: 76 days.
2023 Content Challenge – Produced content 94 out of 365 days (26%). Longest content streak: 62 days. Longest no-content streak: 73 days. (cont’d into 2024) or 59 days (if exclusive to 2023)
2024 Content Challenge – Produced content 314 out of 366 days (86%). Longest content streak: 262 days. Longest no-content streak: 73 days (if cont’d from 2023?) or 14 days (if exclusive to 2024)
2025 Content Challenge – Produced content 113 out of 365 days (31%). Longest content streak: 113 days. Longest no-content streak: 274 days (cont’d into 2026) or 252 (if exclusive to 2025)(

…And I have to admit, there’s a lot to like.

I’ve hit 300 days of new content for my own Brands in four separate years. I’ve had four or five separate triple-digit streaks. I probably have something like half a million words across three separate websites (and more lost to sites I’ve let go of).

Yeah, I’m coping a little bit. That 2025 stat line is an embarrassment any way you cut it.

On the bright side (more cope), I’ve put out a hundred times more content than I would have if not for these challenges.

All I can really do is back on the horse.

After all, that’s something I don’t suck at.

No Time to Plan, Just Spam

There’s no point in being pretentious.

I’m just going to get it however it comes.

Working on ZachBradshaw.com has always been the easiest. So more Achievement and Character stuff is a lock. I need it anyway; it’s one of my best Personal Growth practices. More than likely, I’ll probably find some other stuff to do on this site as well. For one, I’m getting tired of all the unfinished pages, which means there may be a major facelift and/or reorganization once I get my full bearings on the site as a whole.

I’ll work out what to do with everything else as I go.

Of course, Playing Markets is pretty much always calling my name. Greensboro SEO Pro can always use some more work. And I constantly have more ideas for more sites. I’d be surprised if I didn’t spit out another couple of them over the coming months (or maybe even next month).

Plus, I should probably refresh ZBsCV because I’m considering going back on the job hunt.

Whatever happens, I’m confident 2026 will beat 2025 at the very least.

That might not be saying much, but at least it is saying something.

Weekly Round Ups

For the last several years, all of these have looked the same.

As I write this, I’m considering a slightly updated format. In fact, I might even develop a completely new template.

No promises. But I’ll figure that out by the end of February, for sure.

Weekly Round Up Key:

✅ – 7/7 Days New Content
😭 – 0/7 Days New Content
📍 – Content Streak Started
💥 – Content Streak Snapped

Quarter 1

Again, I’m just focused on getting back on the horse right now.

That means a lot of rereading stuff I’ve already written. In the mean time, I’ll be working on my Favorites on This Site. And I wouldn’t be too surprised if I touched a few Heroes.

More likely than not, I’ll get back to my Candlestick Patterns, Chart Patterns, Trading Math, and other Market Terms within the next month or so.

For now though, my focus can be summed up in one word:

Progress.

Update (8/7/2026):

I got on the horse for a little bit, trotted for a few feet, then fell out of the saddle.

Then, instead of getting back on, I did the Peter Griffin for a solid four and half months.

If I were bucked off it would be one thing. But I basically slid off the side like a puddle of jelly and failed to even attempt to get back on. Embarrassing.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Just a big ‘ol puddle of jelly rotting in the sun, at least where this content challenge is concerned.

Gross.

🤮🤮🤮

Quarter 3

Update (8/7/2026):

Okay.

It’s almost half way through Q2 and I finally reconstituted myself.

As I write this, I’m slowly but surely climbing back into the saddle. Still going at a slow trot, but travelling nonetheless. And hey, at least there is enough time left in 2026 to hit a 100-day streak and beat out last year’s overall numbers. It’ll be a bit of a test, considering what I have coming my way in November (👶).

However, it all feels pretty easy for the time being. Granted, this is only the second day in a row of any work on my stuff. Still, riding the content horse always feels like riding bike.

Luckily, I don’t think the ease of writing will ever leave me.

In fact, it may be getting even easier over time

Now, I just have to figure out exactly which direction I want to head for the rest of the year.
