Keep ideas flowing. Keep my blog relevant to what I’m doing and thinking about today, instead of having a backlog of topics going back literally years, including topics that are no longer relevant to my life or even fresh in my mind anymore.

At least one post daily, no matter how short. I can definitely do that. We’ll see if it makes my blog more interesting… or just more noisy.
