Publishing primes your brain

Get a habit of publishing. It primes your brain. Suddenly something is needed. Your brain starts searching for content and ideas. Automatically.

I felt this instantly. The commitment was the trigger. I chose to publish every day, and that created a constant push. Not pressure exactly. More like alertness.

Sometimes it’s exhausting. But I remind myself: one line is enough. One sentence. Some days become shit posts. That’s fine.

Seth Godin: “You can’t have writer’s block if you write. You can say, ‘I have bad writer’s block,’ and I say, ‘Show me your bad writing,’ and if you show it to me, then you don’t have writer’s block.”

The priming works in both directions. Forward: what can I write about today? Backward: what lessons did I miss back then?

Once you commit to output, your brain stops waiting for ideas. It goes hunting.
