I’ve heard from people who might have met me in the last few years that I am very consistent at blogging.
That’s their perception of a limited view of my reality. Some think that’s overwhelming (“I’d never be able to do that!”)
Look at the chart below:
What is consistent there?
The only thing I see is that Average Words per Post is higher than 600 consecutively from 2022 through 2025.
What’s inconsistent?
- I didn’t publish at least one post every year
- Huge standard deviation of both Average Words per Post and Total Posts in the years I published
I look at that chart, and I know the stories behind some of those years. I document those in personal notes.
As I take another look, I actually do see something else that is consistent:
It doesn’t matter whether I come from a very strong year or a low/nonexistent one (in terms of posts published): I always get back to it!
It’s important to step back and see the big picture to identify where we can apply consistency rather than intensity.
If you’re unsure about starting a blog, my recommendation is to just do it.
