why would you want to do this daily?
Looking at my posts, youāll notice I post almost daily, sometimes even multiple times a day. Itās not a target or something I hold myself to, it just happens. I wonder why some people want to blog every day and set it as a fixed goal, getting disappointed when they donāt meet it. What is it specifically that inspires you or could be the reward for doing so?
As someone who does that often, thereās no advantage to it. I donāt feel more productive or organized, I donāt suddenly feel like a āreal bloggerā or a better writer, Iām not earning a medal from keeping up a streak. Iām not becoming more important just because thereās more consistent output. My written words donāt hold more weight, Iām not automatically more right about a topic. My life isnāt more interesting because of it. It doesnāt always lead to some good thoughts or ideas.
Sometimes, what I write in my notes app is a total nothing burger, empty navelgazing, analysis for analysis sake, shit I wouldnāt write if I had less free time. Truly! Iāll let it simmer for a few days and come back to it thinking āWhat the hell was I even talking about and why did I zero in on this absolutely insignificant detail for no reason?ā. I might as well have been in an empty jail cell while writing it, but I was actually in the bathtub overthinking it. The things that passionately move me and got me obsessed are so volatile and inconsistent. Sometimes ultimately pointless, too. Not as a self-deprecating dig, just an honest assessment. Not everything can be a banger (rarely is).
