Almost Quit At 500 Daily Posts: My Reflection On Daily Blogging

16 Mar 2026 #writing

The last 100 posts felt like a real stretch.

I wanted to quit blogging for a while. But I reminded myself: like an athlete, a writer must practice daily, or at least consistently. And stumbling upon Seth Godin’s 10,000 daily posts inspired me to keep pushing. I know I’m far from hitting that number.

Lately, focusing on my health has hurt my streak.

To have healthy sleeping patterns, I’ve started going to bed every day at the same time. That has meant skipping my daily post sometimes. So I tweaked my blogging rules to repair my streak the next day with another post. By the way, I also made some changes to my blog.

For these last 100 posts, balancing health and writing wasn’t easy, but it taught me the value of doing nothing and resting after a sprint of intense work.

I learned that lesson from launching another book, 10 Surprisingly Simple Ideas That Changed My Life And Could Change Yours Too, while trying to balance other projects. Writing that book was a book experiment I ran in February. It already made its first sale and earned its first review.
