I’ve written about non-zero days before…usually on nights like tonight, when I’m dead tired and the thought of a non-zero day is all that keeps me going on this blogging streak…
The idea being that if I continue to blog daily, then I can go back on every day since I started blogging and say that there was not one of those days that I didn’t do at least ONE thing. Even if that one thing was a short blog post. I’ve hit that publish button every day. I’m putting something out there.
I’ve loved having somewhere I can turn thoughts into actual writings over the last year and a half of blogging. Sometimes, I feel really inspired about what I’m writing, I feel like it’s really creating value for someone. Those are great times, but that’s less than 10% of the time. Normally it’s just a normal feeling of writing and hoping it’s at least somewhat useful, and then there’s probably a remaining 20% that I write because I’ve made the commitment to do it. I felt no inspiration to do it, but I forced myself to write.
Some people might find this odd. If I’m only inspired at times, why don’t I just write then? Why write on days that I don’t want to and I’m not inspired? The reason being that if I’m not writing on the days that are hard, how am I going to build up the starter mentality when I actually have a good idea?
Gotta sustain through the hard so that you can win with the big.
