I tried to do these monthly posts for a while because I like to read them when others post them. But I always forget to write down things I’ve been watching or doing, so at the end of the month, it feels like too much work to try to remember everything and then write a post about it. I tried to make it a habit to log my thoughts for these posts, but it does not come naturally to me. So I am renouncing any further monthly posts.
Man I feel this. I’ve said in the past, I really like to read other’s weeknotes type posts, and I wish I did my own. I envy those that are so good at it. I thought Diversions would be something I stuck with but writing them feels like a slog.
Oddly, when I did my what I saw series of posts, for some reason I stuck with that through 100 posts. So, sometimes we can’t tell what will stick and what won’t.
The moment a personal blogging project feels like work is when I drop it and move onto something else. When it comes naturally is when it is really fun. So I think Florian is right to discontinue his monthly posts and he’s inspired me to also state publicly that I’m discontinuing Diversions.
That feels good.
