Read In A Month: June 2021 Report

Revisiting my previous Read in a Month: May 2021 Report so to check how I did for June. While the page is still loading up, I was trying to evaluate myself and I had this initial thought that I might have not achieved what I had aimed for this month.

My profile account showed up, I went scrolling down for the article last month. It's already the third of July. I originally planned on writing this on the 30th of June but I missed it a couple of days. Yesterday, I had a bad headache again and worse, I am now having colds and cough which are two of my most hated sickness. 

First, I am afraid my baby might catch this, and second, my neighbors might think I am COVID positive from all the coughing that I did. I had taken medication already and I am sure this is not COVID because I still have my sense of smell and taste. I have taken natural ones only, the ginger and lemon tea, I also had lemongrass tea as well as I took pure oregano juice! Oh, can you imagine the bitter taste of oregano?

June Articles and Rewards

Anyway, back to the main topic. I had a couple of goals for June but my ultimate goal was actually to increase my articles and write five blogs per week. Last May, my goal of three articles per week was accomplished very easily. This month, I had a few struggles, especially that I am getting lower rewards compared to the previous months.

I know I must not depend on the number of rewards but there's a psychological effect to this and I am always trying to fight that back by thinking of more topics to write on but there were several days in this month that I have been slacking off plus there were sick days too!

So, here are the articles that I had made this month:

• Prenatal Memoirs - $ 25.09

• Shifted Priorities - $ 9.69

• Travel During Enhanced Community Quarantine - $ 21.89

• Quarantined For 21 Days - $ 24.05

• Bullet Journal for June 2021 - $ 10.35

• Life is But a Mist - $ 12.93

• Moving On From Number 24 - $ 21.11

• Diderot Effect - $ 10.40

• Joys of Motherhood - $ 13.28

• Three Years with Washable Pads - $ 15.09

• Travel Made Us Stronger - $ 1.84

• Two Easy Recipes for Matti - $ 3.58

• Livestream For More Watch Hours - $ 5.53

• Preserve Travel Memories in Four Ways - $ 10.97

• Living With Parents - Is It A Good Decision? - $ 3.20

• First and Last Spank - A Father's Day Special - $ 6.00

• Pros of Living with Parents - $ 14.12

• My Greatest Fear as a First Time Mother - $ 6.01

• Lemons + Milk Bath = Matti's 11th Month DIY Pictorial - $ 14.47

• Cliche Photography Lessons - $ 3.64

• BUJO July 2021 - $ 6.88

• Nang Inday: A Mother Whose Love Language is Service - $ 10.44

After writing these article titles and their corresponding rewards, I ended up making an excel file because I want to track my articles this time for July and moving onward.

Based on the list, I have created 23 articles in all for June! Wow, that means I have still hit my goal of writing 5 articles per week because there were four weeks in this month, in fact, I have exceeded it! The total amount I have earned for June is $250.56. This is lower than the previous month and that's what I meant when I say that the earnings this month were lower but that's okay.

Something to Celebrate : 0.5BCH Achieved!

I am glad that I didn't spend my earnings for June. Today, I have reached 0.5BCH! If everything is well, I might be able to reach my 1BCH goal soon by August! I just hope that I won't be needing any amount of fiat so I could keep this value in my wallet. 

If I have not withdrawn my BCH last month, I might have reached my 1BCH goal already this month. But then again, things happen and we can't control it. There's a need and I have the means to provide for the amount through my read.cash rewards and that's more important.

I am thankful for this platform because even if I am not working, I am still on extended maternity leave, I can also help out with our expenses.

What for July?

So, with that, I will keep the same goals for July, writing five articles per week. This month, we will be traveling to Cebu, to James' hometown, and the internet connection, there isn't the best. Also, the activities that we have listed when we visit the family might hinder me from writing the articles but I have an action plan for that which is to write in advance.

But still, that's a challenge, especially that I have been having sickness these past few days plus the baby too.

However, this is why I have to set up a goal because I need to track my productivity.

Conclusion

I am up for the challenge and I will be brainstorming for ideas on what to write. I am looking up for inspiration, I am also asking my husband for ideas and I try to read a lot of articles too to find topics that I might be able to write about.

Also, there's one thing that I need to work on - writing prompt challenges. This will help a lot and I hope I can join again soon.

I'd like to also take this opportunity to thank my sponsors, my readers who have spent time give love to my write-ups. You guys rock! Soon, I will create an article to feature my sponsors!
