The first day, the first pressure.

Burning out before starting

I took a cooldown phase from my “Publishing on Medium” game during the holiday season. The marketing game had a cooldown phase too. I wrote an article about cooldown phases and publishing on Medium longhand and typed a part of it in a draft. But I didn’t manage to finish working on it today, and it doesn’t look like I will.

I thought I could come back into the active phase of my writing and publishing game on Medium with ease. But I was mistaken.

I found myself overpowered and under pressure.

I’ve thrown myself outside of the game by putting too much pressure to publish a full article today and do it every workday, as I did before the holidays, even if there is much more to do due to several online meetings (including coaching I will be giving) and homeschooling for my two children this and next week.

So, here is a reminder to myself, and I hope it will help you too:

Let’s enjoy the creativity! We don’t have to publish a blog post or an article every day. We can write every day. But a writing game stops being a fun game if we take it too seriously. Excellence does not mean being overly serious and dramatic. Excellence equals enjoying the flow.

Happy writing and happy taking a break too!
