Spur Of The Moment Posts Vs Focused Essays

Both are important. And for once, I’m realizing the reasons and ramifications of each style of blog posts.

It’s great to get something off my chest at a very quickly. It’s also easier to put together since it can be a lot of content, but with a probable drop in quality. This “morning’s” post can be grouped into this category.

The more recent posts can be grouped in this spur-of-the-moment style category also. I think it’s good to have a method to have a self-check, now and then… If I don’t tell myself to do it just once a day, I end up either never doing it or going as far as logging what I did every 30 minutes (a feat only possible by Twitter). But sometimes I just get lazy, and stop.

And what’s my excuse? The excuse is that I want to write in depth, analyzing. But what ends up happening is I just end up getting bored, latching onto the next shiny thing.

At this point, I have to talk about my wrists/forearms being in the state they are now, disabling me from writing anything for too long, anyway. I have this feeling that this pain actually is doing more in stopping me from doing anything productive in general.

Which brings me to the lovely conclusion, the obvious parallel: I’m not just talking about blog posts, but the general attitude that I’ve been having towards my projects.

The solution is simple: create smaller tasks. And I think the problem is that I’m still not in HanMeta mode yet: I’m still taking that month-long vacation I’ve been wanting for so long. And the freaking wrists/forearms/eyes/physical pains… the question is should I even be doing anything other than coding on the computer?

Looks like it’s going to be difficult for me to write any focused essays. See where this post is going?
