Looking forward to reading this series! You should still only post once a week (easier to engage with it once a week lol), though if you're feeling particularly productive you could knock out a couple of weeks to give yourself some wiggle room in the future.
Loving the high quality, longer long-form content.
Your ability to grind away — or as you put it so eloquently, lock in as a form of procrastination — is both a blessing and a curse.
Myself, I often find myself motivated only by things that motivate me. In other words, I can be veeery internally driven, but if I donwannadoit, no amount of cash or other externality can get me to do it. Also a blessing and a curse.
I’m able to easily identify when something is misaligned with my values or whatever. So I tend to jump ship pretty quick once I feel the misalignment. Though I do sometimes dream about all the checks I missed out on…
Don’t fall prey to the sunk cost fallacy! (Speaking from personal experience. Happens to the intrinsically-motivated-est of us.)
Everyone’s motivational style probably leaves something to be desired. For what it’s worth, it’s possible to make strides! Like me starring this blog was much more internal than usual.
Funny enough, it kind of turned into an externality because I felt dedicated to my audience and my routine. Maybe you can find an angle to feel like external motivators are more internal?

Thanks for the feedback! That’s good advice. Glad you enjoyed!
