I’ve made it to 1000 days in a row. That’s about three years.
Here are some observations:
- It doesn’t feel like 3 years.
- It’s now a habit. I get antsy if I can’t/don’t write.
- The perfect balance of working days ahead is 3-5.
- Writing has helped clarify my thinking. I find I can have better conversations about the stuff I’ve written about.
- I no longer have to think hard about 250 words. However, I sometimes have to edit quite a bit to get there. Lessthan in the beginning.
- I get excited when I have “series” ideas. I think it’s because I can dig in across multiple days on the same basic topic.
- I occasionally read back through some for context and to look for progress. I am happy with some and hate others.
- My recent and near-future topics are mostly technology (AI), leadership, productivity, work culture, some marketing/messaging, and values and modern life. I suspect it will continue.
- ChatGPT has helped. These are still my words and thoughts, but I use ChatGPT to help edit, research, and look for patterns.
- My audience is me. I’m writing to work out the stuff in my head. These are notes to myself. You’re voyeur.
Next stop is 10000. I’ll be turning 80 at that time.
I wonder if I’ll make it?
