I honestly can't believe it.

Just as I was about to head to bed, it occurred to me, "I almost forgot to write!"

The crazy part about almost forgetting to write, is that I had been thinking about writing all day.

All day I had thought about writing and knew exactly what I was going to write about.

I was even so proud of myself that for the past 12 days I have gotten a new post out daily even at the very last minute.

Life will really humble you.

Writing this post now about almost forgetting to write really taught me a few things.

Lesson #1: Good habits are intentional

Before today, if you were to ask me how the writing challenge was going I would've said it was easy and that it came second nature to me. Now, I'm realizing that the good habits I form are made by my intentional choices. I choose every day to keep up with my habits and this one is no different.

Lesson #2: Discipline doesn't just matter when it comes to things that you don't feel like doing.

I had a friend say in one of her TikTok videos that that day wasn't a motivation day it was a discipline day as she was working out. We often associate discipline kicking into gear for the things that we don't want to do but it's important for the things that we want to do too. No matter what we set out to do requires discipline even if you are motivated to get it done.

Lesson #3: Stop procrastinating.

Like I said earlier, I had been thinking about writing all day. If I would've just written when I had the time and the window to do it, this post would've been completely different. Good time management is working efficiently with time and that requires more focus as well as intentionality.

I can't promise that this is the last time I am going to forget, but I feel that if I can take what I have learned today, I shouldn't make this mistake again.
