I’ve been doing a daily blog post for almost three months now. And no, it hasn’t become easier.

But I think I’m seeing a pattern.

Often, I’ll over think what I’m going to post about. Is it good enough? Should I bother? Should I pick something else to write about?

I’ve brainstormed a bunch of possible topics and scheduled them. But sometimes on the day I’m supposed to write about a specific topic, I don’t feel like writing about it.

Or a different idea will have a stronger pull on me.

Many days, none of my ideas seem appealing.

On those days, I spend most of my writing time NOT writing. But thinking. And debating with myself.

Today is one of those days.

And it struck me that I was up late last night. And up early this morning.

Is my over thinking caused by my over tiredness?

Is it easier to focus on what to write when I’ve had a good night’s sleep?

It sounds logical.

It makes sense.

I think that’s the usual pattern. Being tired makes me indecisive. And prone to over thinking.

Another reason to get more sleep.

Now, if I could get better at going to bed at a reasonable time…
