A few weeks ago, I decided to take on the 100 Days To Offload challenge. When I first saw it, I let it pass since I couldn't think of the ways it would genuinely help me. I think differently about this now.
One of the problems with my writings on this website have been the amount of friction I put myself through for a piece. Usually an idea first goes in a TODO-list, then it stays there in some sort of pickling stage for a while till I lose the initial motivation. Something else then again triggers me to write about the same idea, leading to some progress. This happens a couple of times and then, hopefully, I put the post out. Just after publishing, I push ~10 commits incessantly just to fix structure, grammar, and spellings. This whole workflow is not totally bad, but I want better. As of now, I put all these problems under the same statement: 'I have poor fluency in writing'. If I had higher fluency my pace for taking ideas to text would be high and less error-prone.
With #100daystooffload, I expect myself to solve some of these issues just by
brute practicing since I have to write a new post every ~3 days. There is a high
chance that I will write more short form journal posts this way but I will still
try to ship a few longer blogs in the targeted 100 posts.
