I am writing 2-4 posts a day right now. All in preparation for a month when I don’t have to write and post anything new.
It’s not easy, writing up to 400% of my usual daily quota; it takes effort and it takes persistence. But it is a gift I’m giving myself, and I stay mindful of that when I’m working to get my writing done.
Regular practice is exactly the same. Practice doesn’t have any tangible benefits today; indeed, it has many tangible drawbacks in the immediate moment. But practice is a gift you give to your future self. Having practiced regularly will have tangible benefits in the future.
