The January Slump Challenge

Soon, New Year's Eve will be done, the holidays will be over. You’ll be full up with holiday food and cheer, but then, come January 1, you'll realize it's time to get back to work.

But man, January can be a drag, can’t it?

Let’s help each other get back into the groove in the new year!

Here’s how it’ll work:

• On January 1, 2026, create a goal for whatever creative project you want to get moving on or complete.
• Post your goal in the January Slump Discord channel if you're on the Discord, here in the comments, or tell me about it on Twitch.
• Update people on your progress when you can (daily, weekly, or whenever)
• Join us on the Twitch streams or on the voice channels for co-working. (In-Discord voice channel co-working schedule TBD.)
• Cheer each other on and celebrate the small victories!,

That’s it. That's the plan!

You can make your goals as tight or as loose as you want for any type of project. If you’re doing something where you’re posting on a blog or other public outlet and want to share that, feel free to do so! Also, no worries if you need to change your goal or project— the biggest part of this is to share goals for personal accountability, be each other’s cheering squad, and help lift each other up when we’re feeling down about our work.

This will run for the month of January, and we'll have a wrap up party on Twitch on Sunday, Feb 1.

If you want to host your own co-working session in the Discord, feel free to post it here. If you have a co-working/writing Twitch channel, you can also post your streams here during January if you’re participating.

So, think about your goals and what you’d like to do, and see you on January 1!
