I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
I’ve done it with this blog. I’ll write once a day. Then every once and a while I’ll forget and I make up for it with a single post and then try to get into a new streak. This is an effective way to build habits and something I’m looking to employ in other aspects of my life. I’ve done something similar with quitting smoking. My first step was to not smoke in the car when I bought a new car. Then it was to stop smoking during working hours. Then it was only weekends. Finally it was only when drinking. This took several years to master. Eventually, I was able to quit smoking. I do still have a cigarette on a rare occasion. Maybe once a year. That’s it though.
My current one is to not drink while I’m on my computer. This includes video games and watching shows. I think I’ll try using this blog to keep myself accountable.
