[2026-03-25 Wed 13:26] Ultra learning writing - Why, how and what?

The last 6 months goal is writing.

Why? Instrumental goal. I want to put myself out there to be exposed to more opportunity. I also desire to give back; I learnt coding essentially via other people’s blog. I want to improve my ability to express ideas and communicate, starting with writing. Finally, I want to close an open loop: I tried and failed to write a blog many times over - I want to break that cycle. Move from a pure consumer, to a part time contributor.

What? A blog that I am not afraid to share, with regular content and posts that I can look back at to measure the progress I have made. A richer vocabulary, with more nuanced words than “interesting”, “great” or “things”. A place to write my current thoughts, theories and sharpen my critical thiking.

How?

• One short microblog a day (5’, current thought, experiment, learning).
• Ship a longer blog per week: 45 minutes writing on a microblog, 25 minutes editing and hit publish.
• Focus on quantity and consistency over quality
• Analyses other people blog when I read them, pausing at least once to criticize it: do I like it? not like it? Why? Structure? Words? Style?
