I wrote on LinkedIn everyday for a Month
On November 1 2023, I gave myself a simple goal — to write one post everyday on LinkedIn. The idea was simple, to create a habit of writing and see how it goes. The results were… fascinating!
I managed to write one post every single day starting from November 1 to 30.. on whatever I topic I felt like writing — about tech, work, random thoughts and even life.
I had some major takeaways -
- Building consistency on a single goal
- Sharpen thoughts and see how far I can think of ideas
- Reach and help more people!
These are my 30 posts, from all of November!

I wanted to put as much as I could think of for the day into words, sometimes I used to write my own experiences for the day into posts the next day.
Looking back I’m really happy I managed to share and rewind on so many things I’ve learnt over the years. I’m sure you’ll find any or most of these interesting and useful.
I’d share more such stuff over my LinkedIn, so feel free to connect/follow and get notified!
