accomplishment through inertia

earlier this year you may recall i was fretting over my blogging productivity and then realized i actually was doing pretty good compared to my historical productivity record.

and i've kept doing pretty good!

now, though, here's a whole month i haven't blogged at all.

: (

and what might be worse is, with this post, i just tied my previous second-place year for total number of blog entries.

so why is that worse, claire? (you may be asking.)

because now all i need to do is blog one more time this year, and i've accomplished a new second place year.

i can totally slack (well, almost totally) and still say, "great! i've only ever blogged more one year out of all the years i've been blogging!"

it's a real temptation to get lazy-daisy for the next couple of months.

but claire! (you might be thinking.) why not just make a goal of beating your number one year? that's only like, another six or seven posts!

glah! the pressure!

i don't know.

which one is worse? being lazy or being stressed?

definitely being stressed.

but ...

i mean, it's not like i haven't set goals and blown it on them before. (see: claire's attempt to write a novel a couple years back.)

so what's the big deal?

okay, you've convinced me!

new goal: at least 27 total posts for 2021!

can i do it???

stay tuned.
