Increase your STATS with these THREE questions — part1

Question #1

How are your stats on Medium? Do you feel good about them?

If you don’t, then you should answer THREE QUESTIONS. I will share them with you, so stay with me.

Answering them and, MOST IMPORTANT, applying the answers you get from your inner guarantees you will see some changes in your stats on Medium.

I have already seen changes on my behalf!

I will share them in three different stories. So you have to be patient for a while.

Make sure you don’t lose me.

Question 1:

What are the things you should stop doing?

The best part of this question is it works for other aspects of your life.

Related to Medium, ask this way:

What are the things you do on Medium you should stop doing?

I am going to help you with some of my answers.

I should stop comparing myself to the other writers;
I should stop complaining about not getting views and reads;
I should stop procrastinating finishing my drafts;
I should stop reading A.I.-generated articles (Thank you, Valentina O.!);
I should stop leaving meaningless comments.

Take a piece of paper, write the question, and then give 5 to 10 answers like these.

After that,

read them quietly,

think about them,

assume those are yours,

read them again, but loudly,

then commit to yourself to stop doing them!

Do this and tell me how you feel.

Don’t forget I will share the second question in one of my future posts!
