> Writing is an effective way to achieve this because you don’t need to find another person who wants to hear about your idea

Shouldn't you still have some sort of idea of the audience you're writing for? And for example, I am more accustomed to seeing myself in different spheres of life, where I behave differently, is it possible to combine all of this?

If your goal is publishing something, I think it's great to keep an audience in mind. But if you're struggling to get a writing habit going, forget about all that stuff and just write. Thinking about all that stuff is why it's so hard to get started! It's the root of writer's block. I talk about that a bunch in the guide.
That’s usually the same advice I give to people when they ask the question in the context of personal blogs: just write. About whatever. Anything you find interesting to you is a worthy subject.
