Scheduling is better than backdating

This is (apparently) a daily blog. And yet, if you go back a few days, you’ll notice a week-long gap. Go back another week, and there’s another couple of days break. And, there’s a good couple of weeks of nothing over the Christmas/New Year summer break.

What’s going on here?

See, I figured out that backdating was a waste of time. And breaks are good. And that sometimes you need to cut your losses and walk away from sunk costs.

If there’s a gap in the posts, it’s because I already spent that time doing something else.

I’m better off living with that fact and figuring out if it was worth it, than I am trying to paper over bad habits by frantically back-dating a series of posts.

Of course, now my ‘failure’ is out there to be seen. But there’s an opportunity for growth.

Today, I think I found that growth. Today, I got back to scheduling posts. Today, I wrote three blog posts. Today, it’s Sunday 28th April.

It feels good to get ahead of the game instead of just playing catchup.
