Not a shitpost, simply an acknowledgement that the first post is usually far worse than those that follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve had this domain registered a little while. For 4 or 5 years I’ve been meaning to start a blog. In that time, I’ve had plenty of ideas, and have even registered a domain for one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was so proud of finding a great domain. I basked in the warm glow that I was doing something constructive for myself. The days slipped by, and then the months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a while, the guilt of leaving it for so long started nagging at me. So I started writing a post. It’s still sat there in drafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve seen this cycle repeat several times in the last few years. A fantastic new idea about how to change life for the better springs to mind. A day or two where this new thing works fantastically. It’s usually forgotten within a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, I committed to spending my morning doom scrolling time into something that compounds. The first 4 days were great. Day five was a Friday, so it’s natural to have a break. Then the weekend brings other challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first 4 days, I’d setup a trello board of all the things that I can spend my new-found personal time on. I’d published two posts on a hobby site, I’d sat through the mind-numbing intro videos on trello showing me features I never intend to use. I also setup this domain, and prepared it for glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today is day 11, and I’ve reclaimed some time on five mornings so far. Not bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first two posts on my previous attempt at a blog are still sat in draft. It’s easy to tinker round the edges, and think that you need a logo, and a brand palette, and all these other superfluous gizmos before starting, lest ye be judged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m breaking that pattern with this shit post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May the next one be better!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
