Writing these blog posts isn’t taking me to the next level. They aren’t going to land me a deal with Penguin Books publishing company.
However, they are a keystone habit of mine. They are a small exercise I do to keep my mind fluid and thinking about specific things throughout the day. They also give me an extra reason to sit and spend time reading and learning new things. I want to gain new thoughts and ideas to write about.
This writing habit has been something that is far more important to me personally than it is about making any kind of impact on the world through my mindless banter on this blog.
It is this idea of my writing being a keystone habit that I am trying to strike as I adjust my writing from morning to evening. I’ve now missed a number of days in the past 7-10 days and I am reminding myself to keep busting away and setting aside the time in the evening to write a blog post.
I’m probably going to miss more days, but eventually it’ll be a new habit and I’ll be better for it.
