Changed constraints

Published on Friday, 22. October 2021

Before I decided to cut this project short, my goal was to write one post per day, no matter what. On the days where I didn't know what to write about, this meant to spend a lot of time writing without a direction until I found a topic I considered post-worthy. Writing these posts made sense for a time. But looking back at them they were the most exhausting ones to write. I'm no longer doing that.

If I don't have a topic to write about now, I sit down in front of my notebook and take some time to think before I start typing. After a few minutes I'll get hold of an idea to write about. They are no longer things I want to reflect on, which means the posts turn out much shorter than before. They also take much less time to write.

With this changed approach, writing is no longer a chore. So maybe I'll complete my 100 day streak after all. Let's see. I'm holding my options open.
