I’ve been writing here daily since October and things have felt a little…stale lately. I still love the exercise of publishing something new each day – it’s a fantastic morning habit that does get the ideas flowing, even if what I share isn’t always some groundbreaking insight, or is writing I’m particularly proud of. But I know I need a little break to focus on some other priorities for the next couple weeks, and recharge my creative batteries.
I’ve been thinking about taking a break for the past few weeks, and then I read Brad Feld’s post that sealed the deal for me. I started this exercise with this insistence that it must be a “Don’t Break the Chain” scenario, that I always post every day, no matter what. But I’ve recognized that keeping a habit like this steady over the long term – months and years from now, demands some flexibility for the occasional break.
I’m planning to be back in a month or so. See you then!
