Hi again, dear ✍️,
➔ How the 5-Days-5-Posts Challenge Works
This is not just about writing—it’s about showing up for your creativity in real time.
The 5-Days-5-Posts Challenge is a guided co-writing experience for writers, creators, thinkers, and anyone who wants to build momentum and connection through words.
We’ll meet for five days in a row, always in a 90-minute Zoom co-working session, where we write side by side.
You’ll also receive a clear, focused writing prompt and reminder to guide your session each day.
🕒 Live sessions start daily at 12:00 UTC
That’s:
→ 8:00 AM in New York (EDT)
→ 2:00 PM in Berlin (CEST)
→ 10:00 PM in Auckland (NZST)
I’ve chosen this time to create one global space where writers from America, Europe, and New Zealand can unite, live, present, and focus.
🗓 Round: May 6–10, 2025
✨ Reflection session: Sunday, May 11
This is a space for progress, not perfection.
It is for reconnecting with your voice, rhythm, and vision.
The challenge is exclusively available to paid subscribers.
You can now join for just €50 per year (instead of €200).
It’s a small but mighty group—ideal for anyone ready to stop waiting and finally begin.
This is your moment if you’ve been craving structure, support, and a little spark.
➔ 📩 Message me directly if you have questions or want to join the round.
Let’s write like we mean it. Let’s create something tangible—together.
Reconnect with your why
You’ve already started organizing your ideas — great job.
Today, we’re going one level deeper.
Before we get caught up in writing prompts and word counts, let’s pause and ask:
Why are you doing this?
Why do you write?
Why do you want to create on Substack?
Why does your voice matter?
I know… these questions can feel big. But they don’t need fancy answers. Your “why” might be simple:
→ I want to build a habit.
→ I need a creative outlet.
→ I want to connect with people who care about what I care.
→ I want to finally start, instead of waiting until everything is perfect.
Please take a few quiet minutes today and write it down.
Not for anyone else — just for you. This is your anchor. This will guide you back when things get messy (and they will).
Mini task:
Write your “why” in a few short lines. Tape it to your wall. Please put it in your notebook. Keep it close.
Because showing up for your voice is powerful.
And you’ve already started.
With warmth and creativity,
🌿 Silke Kristin Juelich
💡5-MINUTE DIGITAL HACKS
Helping writers, creators, and artists simplify tech, connect through co-working, and grow through shared challenges.
✨ Let’s make tech feel easy again.
In my Substack space,💡5-MINUTE DIGITAL HACKS for Substack, Canva & other Tools🚀,
I share clear tips and secret insights about Substack and other creative tools. But more than that, it’s a place for two key things:
🖋 Regular co-working sessions like the 5-Days-5-Posts challenge, where we write together in real time.
🌀 Community-powered challenges where we boost each other’s work on Notes and explore the power of Substack tags—together.
Learning the tech and building a creative rhythm that feels alive, connected, and doable.
💬 Why co-working is such a powerful tool:
You’re not alone. Knowing that others are working alongside you simultaneously creates quiet momentum.
You’ll stay more focused. Co-working keeps you grounded and less tempted to check your phone or tidy up "just one more thing."
You learn from each other. We share prompts, insights, and encouragement as we go.
It’s simply more joyful. Creating doesn’t have to be lonely. It can be lighter, braver, and more fun together.
Procrastination isn’t laziness.
It’s often a signal that we feel overwhelmed or unsure if we’re ready. I know that feeling intimately. But I also know how liberating it is to take one step forward—even a tiny one.
I’m so excited to have you on this journey!
