When I started the Weekly Law Drop, honestly I was anxious. It felt like one of those ideas that pops up and sound good in your head, but you are not entirely sure you can keep up with it. Truly it is not just about the start of a thing but actually the continuation and successful finish.
Posting every week, showing up consistently, putting your thoughts out there, it can be a lot and it takes a lot of courage.
But somehow, here we are we are wrapping up with this. Isn’t that so beautiful?
Looking back now, this series became more than just another content idea. It became structure. It became discipline. It became something that pushed me even on days I did not feel like showing up.
I did not even think I was going to be this consistent. Consistency has always being a concept that worried me .
At the beginning, it was just something I wanted to try. But once I started putting it out there, I mean everything literally changed. I would post anticipation updates on my status and on my broadcast list.Funny how it could sometimes even be before I had fully planned the content. And because I had already told people it was coming, I had to deliver. That’s who I am actually once I make it known to others that I’m doing a particular thing I’m definitely going to pull it off and if it’s on the otherwise too trust me to stay true to my word.
The simple act of putting it out there created accountability for me. It got to a point where people started expecting it. If I had not posted, I would get messages asking about the next drop. Some of my friends would even come to my DM to remind me. I mean that alone pushed me on days when I felt tired or unmotivated.
The support I got was real and I don’t ever take it for granted. People around me shared my posts, some were more intentional to give feedback, and encouraged me. Even strangers reached out with compliments and kind words. Those moments meant a lot more than I expected. They gave me the motivation I needed to keep going. It entirely made the writing worth it and I felt so heard
At some point, it stopped feeling forced. The motivation started coming naturally.
Beyond consistency, this series really improved my research skills. I had to read more, think deeper, and actually understand what I was writing before putting it out. It was no longer just about knowing the law for exams. It became about explaining it in a way that people can relate to and understand in real life. As someone who doesn’t like having things complicated doing it with law stuffs just came naturally and I was glad to share.
That shift changed a lot for me.
From writing about domestic violence, to discussing EFCC and corruption, to something as relatable as dealing with a noisy neighbour, and to the concept of suing someone in Nigeria.I began to see clearly that the law is not distant. It is not abstract. It is part of our everyday lives.
This experience also taught me something very simple but very important that You do not need a perfect plan to start. You just need to start.
I did not have everything figured out when I began this series. But starting gave me direction. It gave me something to build on. And over time, it became something people actually looked forward to. It helped me never to go blank on contents.
What to do to help your consistency to
1. Just start: You just need to start you don’t necessarily have to have it all figured out or begin to wait for the right time to post. You should never think there’s a particular order your content has to follow. I also felt like if I post this particular thing is it really necessary at this time for people? But the answer I always gave myself overtime is that since my vision is not just for now it would be of help in the future.
2) You can look at having a series: This definitely is a hack that I have observed that many content creators use. Some call it challenge for example “Day1 of talking to the camera” and they just keep going on and on without ever lacking what to post. Placing your content on a series helps honestly it would seem like a streak that you wouldn’t want to break.
3) Make sure to surround yourself with positive people
To everyone who followed this journey, whether you liked, shared, commented, or even just read quietly, I appreciate you. This was not just about posting content. It was about growth. It was about showing up. It was about becoming better, one week at a time.
And I am just getting started. If you’re a creator/ writer like me I hope this motivates you and get you to start and if you already started and just paused for one reason or another this is a time for you to get back on track.
Law Made Simple
Where we do not just read the law, we understand it.
This is inspiring.
