Tried 100 Days To Offload a couple years back and failed spectacularly. As is often the case with the "Do X in Y Timeframe" sorts of things, I don't generate enough momentum to actually get it done.
The other day, I was thinking about posting something on fedi, and kept getting in my own way because that's a microblogging environment and I wasn't thinking about a quick quip. I like longform writing a bit more, which isn't conducive to the firehose of particulate matter. I don't write about things in terms of soundbites and virality, and I don't really want to shoehorn that kind of thing into a string of language beads.
But I have a similar problem with writing at all. It's the same problem I have with finishing projects or developing habits - I stop before I gain real momentum. Of course, that's kind of the point with these sorts of challenges - you do them to build that momentum, and next thing you know, it becomes a habit. Hopefully a good one.
So my last couple blurbs about Commodore computers are going to count for the start of a new 100DTO. I have a lot of things I want to be doing more but just haven't gotten going. I have land to work. I have projects to build. And any time that I spend mindlessly stumbling through the Internet of Slop could be far better spent retraining my brain to do the things I really want to be doing.
