Today is Day 51 since I started publishing a blog post every day.
I started the challenge to improve writing, gain clarity of thoughts and improve communication skills and so on.
I posted about the whole reasons and my frustration over writing in my Day 1 post here.
Below are popular blog posts from the past 50 days of writing every day.
“Popular” here means most read/viewed in my blog.
If you’ve come across 1 or 2 posts before, here’s an opportunity for you to check out the posts that other readers enjoyed the most and you might too.
I’m so humbled that people visit my blog and READ what I have to say.
Also, I haven’t had one nasty comment (yet). phew.
I’ll embrace it all so leave a comment to your heart’s desire.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for subscribing, reading and following me on Pinterest.
If you have any suggestion at all, please drop me a line.
Here are my top 15 most read/viewed blog posts from the last 50 days I posted every day.
♣ UPDATE: my 100 Day Challenge is complete now. You can read about them below, before, during and after the challenge in order.

Top 15 Most Read/Viewed Blog Posts from the Last 50 Days
Life Lessons
- 8 Things I Stopped Wasting So Much Time on (and Start Living Better)
- 5 Things I Stopped Tolerating to Live a More Fulfilling and Happier Life
I’m shocked to find these two posts topped the list.
These were the lessons I’ve learned from my life full of mistakes.
It’s great to see readers seem to resonate with my experiences.
Fall in Love with Yourself
I’m proud of this one.
Not because it’s of a super quality – none of my blog posts is (poor me, ha!) – but because I strongly feel it’s the very first step to take to live our life to the fullest.
Seriously, everyone should master all the things in the post.
Negative Self-Talk
I don’t know if it’s good or bad to have this post among the popular ones.
I feel like inadvertently I’m leading readers to focus on the wrong thing.
My intention was to help others be aware of negative thoughts. Then replace them with below:
Positive Self-Talk
I feel kinda sad this post reached the bottom of the popular blog posts.
Because I suffered from an inferiority complex for a long time, and this simple step turned my life around.
I hoped others (who like me) achieve the same and free themselves from self-doubt, once and for all.
Maybe there aren’t many people like me…
Get to Know Yourself Well
I imagine some of my readers sit in the corner of a quiet cafe and go through this list.
What a pleasant image, huh?
I’m telling you, it’s my favourite daydream!
Had I done this exercise now and then during my full-time employment, I’d have had a more fulfilling life.
So, kudos to you, reviewing your awesome life regularly.
Indecisive
Ah, the pain of decision paralysis.
Check out Seth Godin‘s way of thinking mentioned in the post.
I applied the same principle to my 100 Day challenge.
I decided once.
Not thinking about it again (except on Day 1 – I almost changed it to 30 Day Challenge. ha).
Overcome Procrastination
Another surprising one for me.
I guess we all suffer from procrastination.
I bet even the queen of productivity will succumb to it once in a while.
Anyway, I hope the simple trick in the post works for you to eliminate the unwelcome I-will-do-it-tomorrow habit.
Happiness
- How to Stop Worrying About Other People’s Opinions (and Live YOUR Life)
- 6 Common Destructive Habits of Unhappy People
- 35 Questions to Determine If You’re Sabotaging Your Own Happiness
Why do we have to be so nice to put others first or care about others’ opinions, huh?
I think it’s one of the primary reasons we can’t let ourselves be happy (and sabotage our own happiness).
Only if everyone knew how liberating to ditch “the caring-too-much thing”.
Positive Signs
All very positive signs of living the best life you truly deserve.
I’m rooting for your wonderful life!
Complaining
Here’s something to think about for a perpetual whine.
Definitely not you (I think).
Debt Quotes
Should’ve taken them to heart in my early 20s, but it’s never too late.

Book Review
I’m reviewing the books I’ve read since I started my blog, not including the books I read before.
Have only 3 books – it’s slow going.
The first one is literally life-changing: a book you’d want to gift to all your friends and family.
The second one is a must-read for non-fiction writers/bloggers.
The last one: you decide.

- Book Review: On Writing Well by William Zinsser – The Best Book on Writing
- Book Review: the War of Art by Steven Pressfield

Final Thoughts
Wow, this whole post unintentionally became an archive.
If you’ve read this far, thank you!
So, I have15 posts (out of 50) worthwhile to mention.
I will not bang my head against a wall and weep over underperforming 35 posts. I’m too grateful for my readers to do such a thing.
I’ll go back to each post and improve as much as I can.
Thank you again for sticking around. I’ll soldier on and keep writing every day for the next 49 days.
Planting a seed…
