Maybe Less Posting?
Every day seems like it might be too much.
The creature wonders: am I posting too much?
Hello all! For the past many months, I’ve tried to post every day, because…well, probably mostly because I’m neurotic and maybe somewhat neurodivergent and so if I’m doing something I have trouble doing it by halves.
But! Posting every day is probably a way to court burnout, both for me and for readers. So I think I may try to dial it back to 4 or 5 posts a week rather than 7 or 8?
If you have strong feelings about this (aspirational) change, let me know in comments; feedback is always appreciated!
okay, well obviously I am not facing a revolt at the prospect of posting slightly less, so we'll see if I manage to skip a day or two this week. (I meant to skip today, but then posted this, so...)
Less can be more. I think many of us have been doom scrolling for a while now, and I've found visiting my favorite journalists frequently has been a way to deal with these crazy times and inject sanity. BUT, in what universe can we expect well thought out quality content every single friggin day?! We used to have to wait for favorite TV shows, the ability to binge them now seems to have seeped over into journalism. (I want more essays, and I want them NOW! Every day!!) It's a treadmill to burnout. Pace yourself. If you feel you must post something every day, let it be cats.
