3-paragraph challenge

I have been thinking lately that I am getting far too caught up with trying to make my posts perfect, to the point where it has been stopping me from posting. It is like each post must encompass everything all at once, and be worthy of some (self-imposed) imagined standard (that I am obliged to follow), that I can't quite put my finger on.

So in order to try and fix this, I have set myself a challenge. Here are the rules:

  • I will post every day for 30 days.
  • Each post can contain no more than three paragraphs.
  • Other types of content/blocks such as bullets, images and code don't count.

By design, each post will have to have limited scope, mostly focussing on one idea at a time. I hope that by restricting myself this way, it will force me to think creatively about what goes in each post, and (more importantly) what should be left out. Let's see what happens.
