Why?

No, really. Why write? He’s not saying anything, so what’s the point?

To overcome internal roadblocks & generate that initial momentum.

When I take a long break from working out, it's hard to get back into it. What I'll do for the first few days is just show up & walk on the treadmill for half an hour. Easy, low-effort. Gets me comfortable in the gym environment & routine again. Then after a few days and that initial "ughhhhh, I don't waaaaanna go to the gym" brain barrier is gone, I'll adopt a real workout plan and stick to it.

With that said, sort of ironic that the author of this blog post has only posted this. Didn't seem to have helped much. :)

It's exercise. Use it or lose it. So when you actually need to write to express something, you're not stumbling over the process of writing.

In a selfish sense, the act of writing can be beneficial to one's inner thinking, regardless of the quality of output.
