1 in 100
My goal is to write something that's analytical and work / design related every day.
Here's what I keep in mind after writing +200 blog posts:
Making decisions can be difficult, but once you make them, it's important to follow through.
I don't care about the 100 posts that get ignored, I care about the 1 that resonates with someone.
Second-guessing leads to nothing getting done.
Taking action when you don't feel like it is the most important time to do it.
The posts should be useful to others, but they're a way for me to learn more than anything else.
I think about Seth Godin's quote when time is scarce or I don't feel like writing:
"If you can make a decision once, then the question isn’t should I do it? It’s what will I do? If you make the decision once to be a vegan, then you don't need to have a discussion with yourself every single night about whether or not to have a hamburger. If you make the decision to blog every single day, then the only discussion I have to have with myself is what’s the best blog post I can write -- not should I write a post. As (Saturday Night Live Producer) Lorne Michaels has said, 'Saturday Night Live doesn’t go on because it’s ready. It goes on because it’s 11:30.'”
