Noisy

I still have fears about daily blogging.

One of those fears is, “What if my posts suffer from a low signal to noise ratio?”

I aspire for all my posts to be 1) helpful to me, and 2) helpful to others, but writing daily creates a risk that these posts are more annoying than useful.

Although I try every day to maximise the amount of signal, and minimise the amount of noise, these posts won’t always reach that standard.

To combat this, I’ve considered shifting to one post per week, but I decided against that for this reason: I want to get better at writing, and the only way to get better at writing is to write. Every day. All the time.

Daily posting also forces me to complete a train of logic from beginning to end. The muscle only gets stronger when it’s under tension. Posting less would degrade this muscle over time.

If you have any thoughts on the signal to noise ratio of this blog, I’d love to hear from you. Especially if you think there is anything I could be doing better, or things I should stop doing.

I always aim to be the hardest person in the room to offend, so all comments are welcome.

Although I write primarily for myself, I like hearing that my posts have helped others learn new things. That’s a huge privilege that I cherish deeply.

Thanks for joining me on the journey.
