This last week, my life has been consumed by a video game. My personal productivity time has fallen off a cliff, and both my blogs have suffered from lack of content as a result. I still haven't beaten the game quite yet, but I'm finally coming around to a point that I'm okay balancing my play time back with my personal productivity time.
As much as I am sorry for not posting a lot of content this week, I am also not all that sorry either.
If anybody can recall all the way back to my very first post in this blog, you'll remember that it took me several attempts to start this blog because of an egotistical fear. That fear being that I would focus more on the numbers instead of the content. More on me rather more on you.
I do have a backlog of topics that I could have quickly churned out, but it would have been from a perspective of "keep content numbers up to keep consistent readership" instead of a help. If I am committed to helping you grow, I can't let myself shove content out the door that hasn't been carefully thought through. So that means on weeks like this, content might be lower.
I hope you understand this and stick around anyway. Admittedly, the egotistical side of me that constantly needs kept in check is always tempted by doing cheap things to boost my numbers. This week, that took on the form of me purposefully holding off on hitting that "Publish" button on some half-assed material. If I truly seek to help you out, I'm doing you a disservice by putting out that half-hearted material.
Again, I do apologize. This game has been absolutely amazing, but I do wish I could have balanced putting out quality material and playing a little better this week. Speaking of ego, I'm re-entering my personal productivity habits by reading the book Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday. Expect more posts in the next week specifically on this topic.
And thanks for sticking around.
