Confession: I used to write on the same day I finished a project. Now I do the project and write ahead, capturing lessons as I go.

Scheduling ahead is freedom and a learning loop. It sounds simple-but it isn’t obvious, or wasn’t to me.

Scheduling ahead as a concept? Not once did I have the idea. I just never once thought to schedule posts. Lord, how sometimes the obvious step isn’t so clear until you’ve traveled the harder path.

Sharing because if you’re the kind of person that writes when the project is “good enough to be done”-don’t. Don’t wait-it’s what creates the anxiety and stress! Try flipping the script and write as you go.

Then on busy days, your readers are served. And even better? You have something of value: insights not yet broadly shared you can send to a select few. It’s real-you’ll find yourself sharing “from the future” to a select few.

If you don’t understand this process, and why it works. I had this image made. Good luck fellow garage tinkering project writer!
