<p>Who doesn’t appreciate their own space? Of course, everyone does. But have you considered the risks of being too comfy in your comfort zone? Despite the fact that your comfort zone is where you are entirely at ease with yourself and avoid possible dangers and errors in life. It might occasionally cause you to have a distorted view of reality. Furthermore, how you deal with the inevitable obstacles that life throws your way will determine your eventual destination.</p><p>A comfort zone might be a habit or routine that you follow on a regular basis. Are you prone to procrastination when it comes to completing tasks? It’s past time for you to come out of your shell and go to work. When you get too lethargic to do any activity, whether it is writing articles, creating contents and projects, you become too comfortable with it and it becomes a habit. This may seem to be normal at this stage, but it is not. It endangers you and prevents you from developing productively. So being too comfortable in your own space creates sloth, which you should avoid.</p><p>Learn to push yourself out of your comfort zone and face unfamiliar challenges in life. Realizing your full potential is the key to future success in life. If you don’t, you’ll come out as weak to everyone, even yourself and you won’t enjoy it. You may assume you’re only excellent at one thing because you’re too comfy in your comfort zone and want to do things your way. No, you’re essentially excellent at other things but don’t realize it yet. When you move outside of your comfort zone, you’ll discover that you’re a jack of all trades by trying out new things.</p><p>Today, I know a photographer who realized his potential by stepping out of his shell and photographing beautiful photographs, landscapes, and random shots of both living and non-living things. Looking back at those photographs on his camera, he realized how talented he is at his craft, and he hasn’t stopped giving incredible shots to people since, and they haven’t stopped admiring his efforts. Try and get beyond of your comfort zone and meet people who can help you uncover and manage your other strengths in life.</p><p>Many of you are introverts who cherish your own space and prefer to spend your time inside rather than outside. It’s not bad though, but guess what? You’re losing out on witnessing the world’s beauty from a different angle. If you want a life companion, tell me how you’re going to locate one. Do you believe it is solely by conversing on various social media platforms? Online communication alone isn’t enough to get a full impression of a person (good and bad qualities included). True friendship can only be formed in person, away from the anonymity of the internet. Form genuine relationships with people who will encourage you to go out of your comfort zone and work for your other objectives. Mastering this will increase your confidence.</p><p>Finally, if you see yourself becoming too comfortable in your comfort zone, try to make it uncomfortable for yourself. Don’t get caught up in doing just one thing. Continue moving and rotating like a clock. Remember that people like Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Nelson Mandela, and others did not live their whole life in one spot. They broke out of their shells to discover their varied characteristics and skills, and they are now recognized. Do you not want to be acknowledged and praised? Then step out!</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.

user engages with other users' content via comments and upvotes.
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.

2
A user's upvotes
Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
