1. Pick a topic -> look into topic -> write about topic -> post topic -> revise as I feel like it

Internet is an interesting medium because once it's out there, it's not really out there forever. You can change it as much as you want.

I started after reading that having a blog was beneficial. This was from a perspective of building a personal brand. At the beginning I was trying to do 1 per week, but I became burnt out on that, and noticed I wasn't really pursuing things I cared about.

I'm trying to get back into it this year, and only writing about stuff that actually catches my interest. This leads to having an irregular writing schedule. This is considered bad practice for building a brand, but I'm no longer worried about building a brand. I want to have a place to put my thoughts together, and put out there when I happen to have them.

Even with this change in perspective I've noticed my ability to write posts has gotten much better from when I started.

I agree that once I stopped being ego driven, quality went up. Weirdly this also happened when I stopped worrying about my career, I got better at doing my job (less stress)
