Writing about what you learn pushes you to understand topics better
I have learned so much writing my Substack. I refer back to my articles all the time when I need a refresher on certain topics. Plus it’s another feather in your cap when you are in a job interview. If you say you know xyz and you can point to a place where you wrote about it, it lends more credibility.<p>I too have struggled with making writing a habit. But I’ve overcome it in a few ways.<p>1. I make a clear goal for the year. This year it was 52 articles. I’m on track with 38<p>2. I evaluate that  regularly so I stay on track<p>3. I find the pressure of having subscribers to a weekly newsletter gives me the impetus to keep going<p>4. I regularly take time to appreciate all the work and articles I’ve made along the way. I celebrate when I hit little milestones<p>5. I talk about it often with the people I care about. That way I know it will come up in conversation, and I don’t want it to be one of those things I just say “oh yea I’m not doing that anymore”
