I've started to write and post every day (well, every weekday). I tried to do this in the past a few times and it never stuck. My main goal is to train myself to write and ultimately think better. Writing enforces a type of discipline, or perhaps a rewiring of the brain, to articulate your thoughts better. And while I know I can write, and thus articulate, well enough (reader to confirm), it's always taken quite a bit of time, effort and motivation.

• Time: I always went for big, audacious pieces. Never short, on a whim ones. And as the message of the writing got bigger, so did its importance. That caused me to revise it a number of times, try to cut it down in length, to make it more succinct. Doing that for a long, well researched piece takes time.
• Effort: The activation energy to get going with one of those big pieces is high! Not the same by any means, but Bird by Bird does a great job explaining how all writers get stuck in a similar way. The perceived effort keeps getting bigger and bigger, like a sinkhole that sucks you in the more you agitate about it. What's the solve? Just get writing, word by word; or bird by bird, as Anne Lamott says.
• Motivation: I felt like I had to have a big idea, something that's worth writing about. Which made sense. I'm not meant to be a writer. And I hadn't yet acknowledged how important writing is as a personal development method. The only motivation I could tap into was on the rare occasion putting myself out there served another goal. Now I have another motivation.

Then again sometimes having the right motivation isn't enough either. You need a small nudge. And for that I have to thank our friends resolution initiative, modeled after Moxie's, where writing is one of my challenges. The nudge has helped, and I'm excited to be able to write, and think, in a much more articulate manner with less time, effort and motivational requirement.
