# Writing every day (?)

I am a bit of a perfectionist. Which may be good if my goal is to produce high quality output. Sadly I also have a very hard time keeping focused for prolonged periods of time. ADHD has been my Achilles heel ever since I have use of reason. Unfortunately I don't have access to the adequate medications. But that's fine, I manage in other ways. My university diploma says I am a psychologist!

Thus, each post is taking me an obscene amount of time to research, write, rewrite and finish. Since starting my blog I have been posting around once a week. Which is way less than I would like, to be honest.

I think a good compromise might be making a habit of writing *something* each day. As well as working on more-well-prepared weekly-ish posts.

I have read some good advice here on Hashnode which mostly points out how important it is to make it a daily habit of writing. @[Chris Bongers](@dailydevtips) wrote about how he managed to [write every day for 700 days](https://h.daily-dev-tips.com/how-writing-700-articles-changed-my-life) and how it changed his life. And @[Victoria Lo](@Victoria)'s article [why every developer should start blogging](https://lo-victoria.com/why-every-developer-should-start-blogging#ckzis3mri0ca7t1s17dc4ewad) inspired me to start this blog in the first place. 

@[Miki Szeles](@mszeles) urges on how important it is to [start writing now](https://mszeles.com/start-writing-now-seriously). He points out that this is a great way to get feedback and build connections. 

Miki finishes his post with this: 

> 📚Think about what is the topic closest to your soul that makes your heart pump faster even by thinking about it? If you find it, I am pretty sure you cannot fail with writing an article about it.

Well, that really strikes a chord with me. I have a ton of topics that make me feel that way. Many of them not so much tech-related as tech-tangential. But I'm sure I can always find a way to relate them to tech and programming.

Wish me luck. And a consistent attention span... I waste way too much time on the crappy drawings on my post's cover images.
