Doing One Thing
Day 71 of 365 of my Daily Blogging challenge, first published on my blog
To make progress, one of the best solution is to focus on one single thing.
For me right now, I have my day job, this daily writing, and I want to create a project that can help me become independent.
This is too much.
Since I have a family to take care of, I cannot just quit my job. I have committed to this daily writing for a year, so it is hard for me to quit that. But I feel like this is not what I should be doing right now, and that my "free" time would be better spent building a product in public.
So I'm struggling with this decision: Should I quit the daily challenge for now ?
It does not bring much benefit now, neither for others or for myself. When you compare that to what would bring building a project in public, it is not the investment with the best returns.
I am saddened, but I will quit writing like this. I will build, share what I build on Twitter, maybe write some blog post about what I learn in the process. But it would be foolish for me to continue writing like this, at least when I am this time limited and I have a completely different goal to achieve.
See you soon !
Why can’t you continue to write daily about what you decide to build? Wouldn’t that fulfill your commitment?
I could, but from experience, it takes a long time to write a correct blog showing my progress, or something that I learned.
This stacked on top of actually working on the project everyday becomes too much.
I will try to post at least a Tweet everyday though, since it will be more limited and take less time.
Gotcha - that makes sense.
