Notes on Writing More
Lowering the bar until publishing a post feels lighter than not publishing one.
Table of Contents
I write more when the process gets out of the way. Most of that is about removing friction rather than adding discipline.
Make starting cheap
A new post should be one command away. If capturing a thought takes more than a few seconds, the thought is gone.
Publish smaller
Not every post needs to be an essay. A short note that ships beats a long draft that never does.
- Write the rough idea down
- Tidy it just enough to be clear
- Publish, then move on
Keep a list
Half-formed ideas live in a running list. On days when the blank page wins, I pick something off the list instead of staring at nothing.
You do not have to be brilliant on a schedule — you just have to keep showing up.
