I’m writing an atomic essay every day

Starting today, I’m writing an atomic essay (maximum 250 words) every day for as long as I can keep the streak going.

Why:

I think about things, a lot. When I share these thoughts with people, it often helps them. I love that. They grow. I grow. It feels good. My ideas combine with their ideas, and everything grows exponentially. But it bothers me that this often only happens one person at a time. Sharing online maximises that impact.
To push through discomfort and build a habit. Writing and publishing my thoughts doesn’t come easily to me, but I think it’s worthwhile. I want to push through my internal resistance to doing difficult but worthwhile things.

Topic: anything that’s on my mind is fair game. At the moment that means most essays will be about personal growth (self-esteem, psychology, emotional intelligence, consciousness) and building online businesses (SaaS, online marketing, UI, coding). For now the only constraint on topic is that each essay has a single, clear, coherent title (not just “thoughts” or “journalling”).

Goal: to keep the streak going as long as possible. I’ve decided not to aim for a fixed number of days—instead I’ll set fun celebrations for milestones along the way.

It’s my sincere hope that I look back at these early essays in a few months and wonder how my skill as a writer could have been so poor. That’s growth.
