Are you new to Medium?

Have you played around with everything?

Your post length? Niche? Audience focus?

I used to do the same.

Even at work, I cared if people noticed.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to not caring.

Too many of us have imposter syndrome before we’re an imposter.

Step #1: Disappear to Reset

Mental weight adds to your writing time.

The less you care, the faster you write.

And the lighter you feel about the words flowing from you, the easier it is to finish a piece. Hit publish. Watch the article hit or flop, then move on to the next one.

Imagine.

You write without the stress of a word count expectation. Bliss.

After all, readers’ only concern is how the piece made them feel and if you, the writer, honored the title’s promise.

While away accept a new comfort — life progresses while you’re away.

So, it would help if you didn’t strain for perfection.
