A series of repetitive, conscious choices is eventually melting into a habit.

We're at the third of the journey today: 10 days from our 30 days writing challenge have already passed. In all honesty, these were the most difficult days. The beginning of a new year always come with changes, a bit of chaos and overpriced expectations, which, in turn, leads to abandon and disappointment. A friend told me the other day: "I hate it the first days of January at the gym, it's so packed. Everybody starts they new year resolutions with the gym. But you know what: by the end of the second week, half of them are gone."

Well, you're not gone, obviously, and you're doing a great job. If you're new here, just scroll down and you'll find more info about the challenge and a few tips about how to actually make it happen.

SBD Payouts Reports Seem To Be Inconsistent

At the moment of writing this report, there were 218 articles, 1288 comments and 1127 SBD in payouts for the tag challenge30. The SBD number is in stark contrast with all the numbers from the previous days, so I submitted a bug report in github, feel free to follow through.

This project is part of my witness activities here on Steemit. I think a witness should not only maintain the technical and economical components of the platform, but he should also get involved at a community level and improve as many processes as he can.

If you want to know more about the rules of the chalenge here's the introductory article. There are also a few tips to help you stay on the track.
