I work strange hours. I wake up at 6am to get my kids to school, have a couple hours "free" to take care of the house (clean, shop, tend the gardens, repair random shit, etc.) and then head into the office around noon. I work till 9pm then head home, spend a bit of time with my wife, and try to get to sleep before midnight. It's not ideal, but it pays the bills. It also doesn't leave a dedicated block of time for posting on steemit. If there's anything that I learned from writing dozens of 3-page-double-spaced-12-point-font essays in high school, it's that the quality one's writing is directly correlated with how much dedicated practice is applied to the craft. (Side note: I look back on some of the essays I wrote when I was 15 and am shocked by how much smarter I was back then. More on that in an upcoming post!) So where will I find the time to post?
My solution kills two birds with one stone. By the time I get to the office, I've been "on" for a solid 6 hours - a normal 9-to-5er would be cruising into the afternoon, but I have to be ready with my A-game. And what better way to jump-start my brain than a cup of coffee and a 20-minute blaze of writing on steemit. I usually have some story or idea simmering in my mind throughout the morning, and this session gives me a chance to loosen up and stretch some creative muscles before diving into email and code. It's by far the best way I've found to start a work day.
Anyone else have a steady steemit writing ritual?
