Don’t Be Sloppy

When I started this blog, I was posting every day, thinking about what I would write during my morning jog and crafting what I felt like was going to be a useful anecdote or at least something relatable. During that first week I was stressing a little bit when my schedule got funked up one day and as I was sitting down to write that day’s entry my dad asked, “Why do it every day? No one is waiting for it. Do it once a week.” Me, being big on routines and consistency was like “because I gotta be there all the time every day to prove I can do it.”

Prove it to who? Myself? Almost ten months later, I’m fairly certain that essentially no one is waiting for these posts. No one is counting on me to be here every day except myself. There are fewer and fewer anecdotes. Some days my posts are quick and quippy but not even very thoughtful. That doesn’t reflect well on a company with a brain for a logo.

I’m not sure I’ll continue this practice in our next phase. The sentiment will remain in our next iteration, but I’d rather be impressive and a little less visible than sloppy and oversaturated.
