Not the Bon Jovi kind.
The thing that helped start my blogging journey was a post from Seth Godin called ‘The first 1,000 are the most difficult’.
In this post, Seth describes how getting to 1,000 posts takes about 3 years, and although it’s difficult, it’s an extraordinarily useful habit to build.
I was reminded of the post this morning, and did a quick check to see where I am on the journey to 1,000 posts.
Today is day 589!
Woah, I’m (over) halfway there!
I can unequivocally say that it’s made my life better. It’s helped me pay more attention to what’s going on around me, it’s helped me build a habit of trying to turn my loose perspectives into semblances of cogent thought (or at least I try!), and it’s helped me meet a generous, thoughtful group of people from around the world.
I’m not going to end with a strong recommendation that you start—that’s not my thing—but if you’re considering it, or if you ever start, I’ll be here to cheer you on, as others have done for me.
