How I failed with a writing schedule!
And why it doesn’t hurt anymore
Over the last months, I tried several ideas to develop a writing schedule.
I was driven by the idea of producing many articles every month and increasing the income from it.
All attempts failed! I did produce, but as much as I thought I could do.
Once I accepted that I had failed again, I reviewed why the latest and greatest approach didn’t work.
It is always easy to blame the tools. So I looked at the tools, then the process, and fine-tuned both.
Just to fail again.
Eventually, I threw away the entire idea of writing on a schedule.
I started to collect ideas and thoughts but not putting them into any planning, drafting, etc.
Then I wait until something triggers me to look at the ideas, and if I feel the time is right, I start writing.
Like right now. I just found myself in a situation where I wanted to share some thoughts on the reMarkable2 Type Folio keyboard.
So I wrote the piece, did some editing, and published it.
Then the thought popped up: This ad hoc writing is how I want to move on. And that I wanted to share it.
Done!
🙏🏽 Thank you for reading! Life is rich!
