Running and writing do feel quite similar in so many aspects.
Concerning a successful routine, consistency always beats single big actions. So better to run/write a little on a daily basis compared to a lot once a week/month...at least that’s what works for me.
I often compare running to drinking beer or eating olives...the first ten times, it’s awful....and then it gets better each and every time. For writing,it’s rather the first 50 times, haha.
Benni! Thanks for dropping by and for the confirmation: We just gotta keep grinding on the good habit formation.
Any chance you wanna drop a guest essay on us here? I've the suspicion that your thoughts on resource management could be quite illuminating for the good life in general, but also more specifically for Mars colonists.
Was planning on picking your mind during today's run, but maybe it's even more fun to do it this way.
Thanks, Sam! I have missed this. Great German expression: kurzur treten. As a former burned-out retail executive, I could have put that expression to good use!!
Thank you for the encouragement! I saw your post from a few weeks back and promptly kicked myself in the butt to get back at it. I'm gonna continue to chew on the theme of pacing and take some time to talk about the problem of selection in a rich environment in the next post. Let's call it an exercise in burnout prehab😅

Looking forward to your next post...
