Week 03. Everybody slows down for the festive season. Including myself.
After seeing a rapid decline of interactions, I decided to just do quick posts with some general insight or quote. It feels like a waste of time to create elaborate texts with a lot of value, when there is hardly anybody reading them.

Learnings from this week:
- My ‘writing and posting system’ is not yet solid. As I started just 2 weeks before the holiday season, I’m not used to posting every day when under the pressure of social events (christmas diners) and traveling (to family and friends).
- I’m able to do it, yet have some difficulties. Especially since I have the rule: “If you are with your family or friends, be with them physically & mentally. Not with your head in your business.” (When you are in bad times or your dying days, they will take care of you. Not your business.)
- Interaction on social media has gone down a lot. It is slightly demotivating to post something and hardly get response. It even crossed my mind to just quit during the two weeks of the holiday season. However, if there is one thing I learned in business, is that timing is just as important as your solution. And the timing of business / life insights during festivities is off. So I don’t fuzz about it and will just post some easier topics to engrain the writing and posting habit in my system.
Next week: short posts to practice my writing skills.
