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?
