I kept an 8-week streak of writing and publishing a newsletter essay going. I love the output, but not that it absorbs almost all of my writing energy. Back to re-thinking the format on that one.
“It ships because it’s 11:30am” was useful in setting that streak. But “focus on the 2 or 3 most important things, let everything else sit sadly in the corner” is also a handy regimen. In this case: 1) job searching, 2) get a newsletter out there consistently.
Courtney and I are heads-down at furnishing and tidying our basement, so folks can visit. I’m going to count that work as a win for “building things”, even though it’s not software or writing.📈
