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

This is me, again, happy to report that we've all reached the 5th day of the 30 days writing challenge and all is good. I can see already how some of the writers are entering in some sort of a routine (not in the limiting sense of the word). That's the spirit. That's the beginning of a beautiful habit.

I'm also happy to report that we're over 100 posts so far, that's an important milestone.

If you don't know what this challenge is, scroll down to find links to the rules and some tips.

A few steemians commented on my last report with links to their posts that have been overlooked. Please do this again if you don't see your post in this report, sometimes I cannot see it if challenge30 is not your main tag, or if there are significant time differences from us (my today could be different than your today).

With that being said, let's see day 5 articles:

7009 SBD in Payments!

Again, this is not the main goal of the challenge, but I find it useful as a metric, as well as an incentive to keep people aware that there are benefits of committing to a consistent writing routine. Total posts: 106, total comments 717, total in payments: 7009.501 SBD (all at the moment of writing this article).

Good luck to all the writers and keep up the good work!

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.
