# I -almost- made it :D How do you people do it? I recently started doing the twitter thing again and I cannot help but wonder how the hell are some of you doing 100 consecutive days of *anything*. Well, I *was* writing everyday. Hence the now-petulant name of this series. I wanted to see how far I could make it, tough. 2 weeks. Two measly weeks was all I could muster. But I learned a few things. So here's the obligatory "what I learned by..." post of Hashnode tradition. Or whatever. # It was way easier than I thought This one was surprising to me. I usually have a very hard time writing, much less so doing it constantly. I used to have to write a lot during my time at university. So I know I can write. But doing it out of my own free will? That was really something that I wasn't expecting. I speculate that the context -a blog, with feedback in the form of comments- has a lot to do with it. Academic writing is very solitary and feedback-deprived as it is. I used to have a bad case of *writing-about-weird-stuff-even-for-philosophers*. So, expectedly, I used to get *very* little feedback. We are talking about a "you missed a comma" once or twice a year. I wish I was kidding! # Seriously, how do you do it? My brain comes equipped with two *modes* of processing time. RIGHT NOW! and NOT RIGHT NOW! And I have this very nasty thing that makes it so that anything that graduates from "now" ceases to form part of my [*umwelt*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umwelt). With a moratorium of at least two hours. But it can be days. Yet my brain figures that any chirping birb on the background is a matter of national urgency. *As important* as whatever JavaScript I could be typing. At any moment's notice. If not more! Because... birbs! # I learned a ton But thanks to whatever magic this twitter-blog thingy I'm doing, I have kept way more productive than pretty much ever. Which is great! I have learned a lot, just by writing about it. What is not great is that I am still very unable to keep track of those damn days of code. ... # Epilogue. No seriously. How do you do it? Like seriously. It's starting to stop being funny :( ... See you... tomorrow? P.S. Don’t take any of this too seriously. Sardonic smugness is my way of coping! :P ------------------ \*Obligatory beg-for-money section\*
