Hey Paragraph, it's me hellno the optimist
Hi, this is my first post on Paragraph.xyz 👋🏼
This post will describe some basic goals and hold me accountable to actually publish things here. Please DM or publicly cast at me @hellno so I have some external pressure to keep this up :)
Input goals
500 new words per day (that's a achievable goal, can always increase word count after getting into a write & publish rhythm)
15mins editing of previous articles
Output goals
2 posts per week + 1 post of links sharing/list type with articles, quotes I enjoyed
this is a higher frequency than I would want to, but I should get into a rhythm of publishing something → more shots on goal → more happiness
make a meme for each post as the most condensed summary to make it easy to share and potentially collect as NFT
Results outside of my control
getting constructive comments and starting interesting conversations
Constraints
no need to mention my writing process or a habit streak besides this post
don't use AI to auto-complete writing
don't give up
What I'm optimistic about: creating a writing and publishing habit
What I'm scared of: giving up and getting hostile comments
What I look forward to: sparking conversations and connections

I've been starting and stopping for a while. most of the previous writings were in ghost or github pages
