On writing every day

About 2 months ago, I decided to start writing every day.

After 66 posts, I felt like I was sacrificing quality for quantity so I stopped posting every day. A week later, I’ve come to the realization that quality matters less than the act of posting.

Writing publicly every day forces me to think in blog posts.

I view my experiences from the lens of an outside observer. I’m constantly asking myself, “how would I explain this to someone who has no idea what I’m talking about?”

That’s the challenge of communication: getting a message across to another person. By posting every day, I found myself better at communicating ideas to the people around me.

From today onwards, I’m going to start posting again.

Let’s see how long I can go this time.
