On daily blog posts
Recently, I found a trick to force myself to publish something every day, even in those days when I don't feel like writing.
The trick is simple: to log something interesting happening in my day.
Interesting is a tricky word. I doubt it is that interesting for someone but me. But. But. It does the trick. It forces me to think about something and write it down without so much overthinking.
Daily is another tricky word. Because I don't write these “daily” posts daily. These are reserved only for the days when I don't have anything else to publish.
It is also worth noticing that I have plenty of posts scheduled for the (more-or-less distant) future (those are never tagged as #daily). These represent a thought or feeling valid for the moment when I wrote them and scheduled them. It is often the case that when those get published, the feeling or the thought is gone.
It.Does.Not.Matter.
I never touch a scheduled post. It is a sign of respect to my past self who once thought or feel that way.
Sometimes my present self still feels or thinks the same, but he's not willing to openly admit it.
Nobody can tell the different, I doubt somebody cares either.
