Observations From Blogging Every Day for a Month

Last month, I decided to see what would happen if I committed to posting a blog every day. I have enjoyed reading Seth Godin’s blog over the years and was impressed with how he has kept up a daily blog for years.

Now that I’ve reached one month of daily blogging, this is what I have observed:

  • Once you get started, writing consistently at the same time every day is easier than writing in spurts.
    • I should have known this! It’s the same deal with physical exercise!
  • Creativity fuels more creativity.
  • Using a content calendar really works.
    • It works as an idea generator.
    • It beats a blank page.
    • It empowers you when you have two weeks of ideas laid out.
  • It has given me a way to revisit my old cartoons and illustrations.
  • I find I am writing just as much for myself as opposed to someone else.
  • It is better to write short posts regularly than to post a larger post occasionally.
  • Releasing a minimally viable product applies to blog posts too.
    • It doesn’t have to be perfect.
    • To have an impact, it needs to get out the door.

I am enjoying this project. We’ll see how far it goes. Thank you for participating by reading my posts!
