Blog without clog
The drainpipe in my kitchen has been clogged for the last couple of weeks. I’ve been there with a wire every other day, messing around in the drain. It works OK for a while, then it’s clogged again.
Today I finally decided to do what actually needed to be done. I removed the pipes, cleaned them properly, and put everything back together. Work done.
It took twenty minutes. I’ve probably wasted more than an hour with that useless wire.
So stupid. Yet that’s often what we do when we dread something. We try everything to avoid it, while telling ourselves we’re doing good work.
You might feel the same about hitting the publish button. The post just needs one more read-through, a bit more polishing on that last sentence, maybe try a new blog theme first, or why not even another platform. That might do the trick.
It won’t. It never does.
I’ve tried cleaning my blogging pipes in every possible way to get things flowing, and the final solution is always the same:
Just keep blogging.
