If the plan is to put more effort and just do better I'm afraid, you will fail again, sooner or later. Not because effort does not count, because it's too vague. You can write two lines with a pen that weighs 20 kilos, that will be a lot of effort but you've only written two lines. What can you do instead:

1. Trouble writing because you want something perfect:

Write crap, sit down and tell yourself I'm going to write one line, that's it. Just one line. But do it everyday.

2. Care too much about what others think:

If others perception of what you write is hindering you, just don't share everything you write. In this early a stage the point is to get good. Occasionally you'll write something that you'll be really proud of, share that. Not every word that comes out of our heads is pure magic, we all think and write a lot of crap. Welcome.

I quite liked the blog. Minus all the bleeding edge stuff, I build an analytics website for me a few months ago and it was quite fun. Later extended it to included some real time insights on the performance of my sites.

I've updated it. Realized that I would need to revisit the idea after a few months to see if the initial idea was correct. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated.

I did end up thinking about what you said, it took me a while before I got what you were trying to say. I will update what I wrote cause I think you have a good point. Would you like to collaborate? Or if there's anything you'd like to say let me know here, I'll be sure to include it.

What helped you come to that realization? The post is actually not about motivation at all. Would like to know what you think about the method described in the post.

How can curiosity be motivation? There are so far apart in terms of definition and the way people perceive.

What's your definition of motivation? Asking out of curiosity (pun intended).

Hey, I'm Cijin (Sea Gin) Cherian. I'm a go / typescript developer looking for roles that would include working on developer tools, as I find them interesting / challenging / invoking curiosity etc. Which is the best motivation I need to do my best. Also, looking for organizations that contribute to open source (both code and financial).

That was a very heart-warming story. I really love your story and your product (both amazing). Webflow helped me get back into coding. I will always be grateful for that. :)

Really, really good read. Natures way of also looking into wacky solutions to problems. She does not put all her eggs in one basket.
