I have not written a blog post since long time. Actually the previous post was written on 22.06.2023. That does not mean I have not written anything though. In the meantime, I have published few posts on Linkedin, mostly on the communication of my weekend hustles, certificate achievements, and sometimes commenting on the posts I have read online.
I also have written quite a lot at my work as a Product Manager. Meeting summaries, incident analyses, rollout posts, PRDs, monthly updates, and many more types of different contents, written for different types of personas. But I feel like I’m not writing much. To make it more explicit, I realised I am not writing often. I just do big-chunk-writings irregularly.
To change this habit, I have decided to start writing as often as possible. I will try to write at least once a day as part of my journalling activity. To be honest, even the writing a journal had not been a regularly thing since quite a while. As mentioned, I had stopped writing. Now is time to bring it back. I do not know though if I will be able to publish as often as once a day. I am publishing to my blog through my github repo. It means I need to write, commit, push via git using a laptop. My laptop might not always be with me, which may result in an irregularity of posting. I will try to find a solution to that as soon as I will face it.
Within this process, I know that there will be a lot of uninteresting pieces of text I will publish. I will use this blog as my main platform to publish the posts, but I might occasionally post on Linkedin and X as well.
My choice of writing tool is usually Notion. I try to use the Zettelkasten method to store and organize my notes, which I eventually also use as ideas for writing. I am experimenting occasinally other means of recording thoughts and ideas, planning and writing a text (i.e. Obsidian). Notion still is the default tool of mine though. The reason I use it more often is because it can be synced across all my devices and beyond real time. That makes writing easier everywhere, all the time. I used to read my books on Scribd (before it turned into Everand) also for this reason.
I wrote this post at 11pm. I don’t know if I will be writing at the same time tomorrow or not. I have not decided that yet, just because the dynamics of the days can change easily. I will try to observe for a while and optimize for a shorter range of “time of publishing”.
Let’s get it rolling.
