Working with tension
I'm sitting here on a Tuesday as I write this. It's October 1st. The start of a new semester for me. It's a thing. I can't work on school at the moment because school isn't ready for me.
I need to start up a blog (hopefully the one you're reading this on). I've been at the very edge of signing up for the platform I plan to use for ... a few days now. There are a lot of decisions built into that.
At Ye Old Day Job, I would often write an email that I wasn't emotionally ready to send. I'd have to get everything set up and then hover my mouse over the send button and kind of trick myself into doing it.
Once you have a drafted email, doing that is easy. Building something from scratch has a lot of what you might call “friction” in it.
I can't setup a blog with the same “hover mouse here” deal I have with a draft email. It's gotta get done, though. Right? It does if I want to get anywhere.
Gonna go get up and hopefully set up a blog.
