Discussion on: How to keep writing?

For a few years now, I have had the ritual to post good music (and a short overview over the news) in my blog every Monday morning. I only took a general "blog break" of several weeks once. That keeps me posting even between the Mondays, because I wouldn't want to read my own blog if there's just "some weird music" once a week.

Sometimes I even manage to work on long-term articles.

That's a really good idea, at least posting something interesting that doesn't cost a ton of energy and time to create. I tried to make weekly roundups of articles I wanted to share, but digesting all of those was way too much effort.

I might think of something feasible and informative to post, just to keep things going. Thanks!

I can recommend to use OneNote (or Pocket or a text file or something) to collect articles over the week, maybe write one additional sentence or two for all of them. :-)

Thanks, I use Todoist for that! Works perfect, but I've got a hard time writing something superficial, I always try to get to the nitty gritty which might be part of my problem!
