The level of behind-ness on my blog is kind of amazing. I don't know if I've ever been this behind. Or maybe it's just that I've got a task manager keeping track of it and adding a new one to my list every week. In any case, it's super behind, so it's definitely time to use my handy escape clause that I built in right when I set the weekly requirement for myself: my blog posts can be super short. They can be one word, I think. Maybe I should check what that original post said. In any case, something like that.
This was originally from when I was thinking about habit formation, and the idea that just doing a tiny thing, consistently each day, was a great way to form a habit, that could then turn into something I did automatically, and which could then be expanded to take a little more time.
In the spirit of that, perhaps instead of doing a whole bunch of blog posts one after another, I should just try doing one every day for a bit, to catch up. Then some will be shorter.
Though often, once I get on a roll, I have additional ideas and so I end up writing more. That's perhaps part of the problem, as I shy away from writing when I've got other stuff I want to get done, because I know I can lose a lot of time to it. I think that's one of my strength/weakness things, where it's just a feature of who I am, and depending on the situation, could be either a strength or a weakness.
I think that we should find those things in ourselves, and try to shape our lives so that they end up acting as strengths, as much as they can. (And that we do so in service to something bigger than ourselves, and something that brings goodness to the world and those in it.)
