I went to China and played a bit too much. Now it’s time to get back to work.

I didn’t post anything for almost a whole month because I went to China. Medium was blocked in China and my VPN stopped working.

Then I spent most of my time playing badminton and sightseeing and totally forgot to spend any time getting work done.

So much for working anywhere in the world… as well as the post 1 post everyday goal…

It’s a tragedy too as I was just starting to build momentum writing on Medium. The productivity strategies and ideas I preached were working wonderfully making blogging something I naturally do every day.

The habit started to ingrain itself in my daily work, but now, it’s all gone.

As the saying goes, “It takes a year to build a good habit, but only a single day to ruin it.”

However, I will not let this one trip-up stop me from reaching my goals.

All the talk about self-improvement will not go to waste. I will remain persistent and persevere through the adversities I face.

I will diligently rebuild my habits and build the life I want to live.

I know I need to rebuild my habits. What are the actionable steps I’m taking to do so?
