I: One More Start

So, here I am again, resetting my blog, The Diary. I lost count of how many times I reset my blog for my mental health, published a few posts, and then lost my way. Why do I keep failing to update my blog frequently?

After reflecting, here are my reasons:

  1. I have too many grand plans for the blog, but lack execution.
  2. I can’t even make time for blogging, but I can make time for everything else. (I do write in my Moleskine planner/journal more often. Sorry, Diary.)
  3. I’m scared that I will make a mistake in my posts.
  4. I try too hard to write lengthy posts.

So, now that I’m resetting The Diary, this is what I will do this time:

  1. I will have simple, more achievable plans for the blog and truly execute them.
  2. I will dedicate at least one hour to blogging daily on my laptop or phone. But I will only publish posts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
  3. I will rely on apps like Grammarly to avoid typos. But if I still make mistakes, those mistakes will serve as lessons. Besides, it’s my blog, my mistakes.
  4. I will take it easy and write short yet more personal posts. After all, The Diary is my personal blog. I will write lengthier posts when I’m truly inspired to do so.

Now that I know how to do better, here’s to one more start—a better start.

Hi. I’m The Deranged Writer, and welcome to The Diary.
