Our Journey with the #2Articles1Week Challenge on Hashnode


This past month, we took part in the #2Articles1Week challenge on Hashnode — a fun yet intense writing challenge that encourages us to write and publish two blog posts every week for 4 weeks straight.
we are happy (and a little proud!) to share that we successfully completed the challenge by publishing 8 articles in a month 🎉. Here’s our recap of the experience, takeaways, and why we think every writer, developer, and creator should give it a try.
Why We Joined the Challenge
We’ve always believed that writing regularly is one of the fastest ways to learn, share, and grow. When we discovered the #2Articles1Week challenge on Hashnode, it felt like the perfect way to:
Build a consistent writing habit
Explore new tech topics
Connect with the developer community
Push ourselves creatively
How It Went
The challenge rules were simple:
Publish two blog posts every week
Use the #2Articles1Week tag
Stay consistent for at least two weeks to earn a badge (we went for gold — 4 weeks!)
Our schedule looked something like this:
Week 1–4: We brainstormed, wrote, and edited every few days to stay ahead.
We experimented with different topics, from tutorials and how-to guides to opinion pieces.
We made sure each article had clear examples, structured sections, and engaging cover images.
By the end of the month, we had 8 published articles. Hurray !!!!
What We Learned
Completing the challenge taught us a few valuable lessons:
Consistency beats perfection – It’s better to publish regularly than to wait for the “perfect” article.
Deadlines are powerful motivators – Having a fixed timeline forced us to manage our time and avoid procrastination.
Community matters – The support and feedback from other Hashnode writers kept us going.
Ideas grow as you write – We started with a short list of topics but discovered new ones along the way.
The Best Part
Aside from building a habit, this challenge gave me:
A portfolio of 8 new articles
Improved writing and research skills
New connections in the tech community
More confidence to share our thoughts publicly
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been thinking about starting a blog, this challenge is the perfect push. Writing twice a week may sound overwhelming at first, but once you get into the flow, it becomes incredibly rewarding.
To anyone reading this: give it a try. Whether you’re a developer, designer, or just curious about sharing ideas, you’ll come out of it with new skills, new friends, and a sense of achievement.
Here’s to more writing, learning, and growing 🚀
