2025 Content Challenge Week 2:
✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
Business as usual.
Another week, another seven added to my streak.
Fourteen days doesn’t feel like much. But you can’t do much better than 100%.
All I can really do is keep plugging away.
So I will.
Like Enzo Maresca, I’m not focused on the title race, just the next game.
What Got Done?
Week two didn’t see any groundbreaking changes.
In fact, it was very similar to last week. It was all about “perfecting” my Ascending Triangles post in preparation for churning out other Chart Patterns.
Of course, I still have plenty I could write. But I got things to a real stopping point. I added new images almost every day this week. And I have a feeling that if I put out 10-20 more of these by mid-February, I’ll have a fully monetizable sight by the summer. Not only are these posts set to be the best on Internet for each pattern, I believe they will be nigh on unbeatable.
This next batch of posts is set to be arguably the best content I’ve ever produced, from an SEO standpoint.
It’s actually kinda’ ridiculous just how good the first one turned out.
I’m absolutely JACKED to push out (and promote) the next ones.
Not to mention, I’ve also got some straightforward improvements to my other Playing Markets posts lined up and ready to go as well.
Last Week Was the Week That…
Carolina actually got another respectable win against SMU, then followed that up with one of the ugliest wins ever against NC State.
As for Chelsea, they spanked Morecambe, 5–0, with Tosin scoring twice from out the box.
Surprisingly, I paid the world a little bit of attention last week.
It was the week that:
- The LA fires started.
- Tulsa Gabbard flip-flopped on FISA.
- The UK grooming gangs story dropped (or, at least I heard about it).
- Trump became a convicted felon but escaped punishment.
- The FS1 allegations against Joy Taylor and others came out.
All pretty big stuff.
Still, the most important development for me was my sobriety extending to tobacco consumption. My productivity (and sleep) definitely took a hit for it. But so far, I’m winning the fight against the cravings. I don’t feel like I’m completely out of the woods yet.
However, the hardest part has passed and I’m excited to tackle the challenge next week.
Unrelated but still worth reporting… last week was also the week I made (snow-inspired) chicken noodle soup from scratch for the first time.

Content Streak
After last week:
My weekly content streak now is up to 14 days (begun this week), which includes my entire 2025 Content Challenge so far.
My longest streak ever was last year, during my 2024 Content Challenge. It lasted 262 days, spanning from from Week 10 to Week 48. In 2023, my longest streak was 62 days, from Week 8 to Week 16. My longest streak during my 2022 Content Challenge reached 217 days, ending 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. 📈
