Consistently writing each week is a challenge, but...
Consistently writing each week is a challenge, but one I find I’m always happy to take on. Writing is a process, one that needs continuous practice. Being consistent with writing is also just a microcosm of an essential skill: being consistent with things, more generally. " "" "I try to be highly consistent in as many ways as possible, from my communication style to organizing our team’s wikis and documents. I’ve seen this help me in my career already, and I’m always looking for more ways to practice being consistent for a good reason. Writing is a perfect fit! " "" "To say writing is a process may make this seem like more work than it is, though. My strategy for these posts is simple: " "- Throughout the week, keep an eye & ear out for a topic that could be a good fit" "- Saturday morning, sit down and write out my thoughts on a topic." "- Maybe edit it once on Sunday, but typically just run it through Grammarly!" "" "This process’ simplicity makes it much easier to be consistent with weekly, a core goal of mine for these posts. Of course, the result is a bit less polished than my work could be with a more thorough writing process, but that’s ok! In the quantity/quality tradeoff, I’ll take a quality hit for consistent quantity in this case :)" "" "How important is consistency to you? #bendevtip
