I like this view on self-discipline!

I’ve been trying to do the same for my newsletter, but haven’t been very successful at regularity yet 😅

Thanks Olivier!

What's been holding you back?

Well… lack of self discipline 😅

I’m not rigorous enough in respecting the schedule.

Add work, family/kids to the equation and that makes it easy (for me) to let it slip!

Touché! 😅

Work/family/kids makes it nearly impossible. I devote most of my free time to putting this out every week. I’m not sure if it’s worth it yet😂 I definitely would not be able to do it without the help and support of my wife.

I committed to one year of weekly, will reevaluate after that.

My unsolicited 2 cents is, make it non-negotiable. If you really want to do it, don’t negotiate with yourself. Even if you only have one hour to give each week, just get it done.
