2024 Content Challenge Week 30:

✅✅✅✅✅✅✅

Talk about scraping by!

😰😰😰

I’m now over 19 weeks and 140 days of consecutive content production.

Just barely.

That puts me less than two weeks away from setting a new second-longest all-time streak.

🤩🤩🤩

At this point, that feels like a sure thing.

What Got Done?

Ugh!

🤢🤢🤢

Last week was one of my least productive weeks since March.  In fact, it may have been my least productive in that time.

Luckily, I had content scheduled for it weeks ago.  Otherwise, my streak may have ended.

😅😅😅

However, I was able to get the next batch of Candlestick Pattern posts started in earnest.  That sets me up to absolutely demolish the week ahead.  And that’s an absolutely must.  I should have been able to schedule out 20 or 30 new posts last week.  But some unforeseen circumstances (coupled with some mental weakness) resulted in a week where I didn’t get half as much done as I should have.

Part of me considers it an excuse.  The other half considers it good reason.

Ultimately though, it’s just a bit of adversity I have to overcome.

Last Week Was the Week That…

I found out what a dislocated shoulder feels like, at least a partial one.

In truth, I don’t know where it stacks up on the dislocated shoulder scale because I didn’t even notice it until it popped back in.  Then, I’ve noticed it pretty much ever since.

😭😭😭

I’d expect that I’ll be back to normal in the next day or two (but I’ve thought that the last several days in a row).  It’s extremely annoying.  Yet I refuse to let a little pain sabotage another week (or even day).

Aside from that, this was the week of UFC 304—where Paddy Pimblett submitted Bobby Green in one of the most devastating ways I’ve ever seen and Belal beat Leon in one of the worst title defences I’ve ever seen.  It was definitely one of the most unexpected cards I’ve witnessed in awhile.

Speaking of the unexpected, Chelsea put in two miserable pre-season performances.  2–2 against Wrexham and 4–1 against Celtic.

😭😭😭

Unfortunately though, the meltdown videos I expected never came.  😢

Because I was bitching and moaning about my shoulder, I also let myself get distracted by a Legendary Mori campaign on Shogun 2, watched Destiny vs. Andrew Wilson on J6, and watched several hours of the Boogie2988 EFAP.  A truly depressing week.

Hey, at least House of the Dragon came through with a banger setup episode.

Content Streak

After last week:

My weekly content streak now is up to 140 days (begun Week 10), which is the longest streak of my 2024 Content Challenge so far.

In 2023, my longest streak was 62 days, from Week 8 to Week 16.  My longest streak ever was during my 2022 Content Challenge, snapped at 217 days in a row in Week 24.  My best during 2021’s Content Challenge was 67 days, from Week 14 to Week 23.  And my best in 2020 was 157 days in a row, which ended in Week 21.

The march toward a full 365 continues.  📈
