Whenever I do the daily blog, I come to a day where I just sit down and ask myself why bother writing everyday, and mostly not to anyone in specific. I tried to look through my blog yesterday, and realised that my code was actually kinda messed up. So there’s been some reinstalls for the pages as a whole. And that really begs the purpose of why I want to write everyday, even if no one else sees.
I was listening to Cal Newport on his long thinking process, where someone should take a notebook, and go into nature, to think and slowly process that one thing they’re struggling to think about. I want to do that, that sounds fun and it sounds like I might walk away being a lot sharper on certain things. But thinking long and daily writing are two different things. I think I actually have long thinking practices, but I definitely struggle more with daily writing.
Daily writing is hard, because it makes me sit down to pen a thought or two that is worth sharing. I have many thoughts in a day. “I am hungry” is a key one I deal with often. I have others about clothes, “What should I wear”. But there are others, deeper and having a bit more character.
Those are hard to figure out which goes onto the blog more. Of course there are things to do to guide me, like prompts, or just journalling suggestions. But I think having a daily blog is saying, I want to note this day down somehow.
My blogs aren’t always daily recaps, because I have another space where I have daily recaps. But I am always happy to share my thoughts. If people like reading , that’s good. If they don’t it’s okay, and i didn’t meant to write to them. I just want to write because I want to write.
So why write daily? I think i automatically up my creative out put a lot. It always helps that at the end of the daily, at least I have one post up.
