Is writing a blog daily better or worse than doing nothing at all?
Put it into google and unsurprisingly you get a mixed response. Some swear by the routine others suggest the sweet spot is 2-4 times a week.
Here’s another one. Should I measure the height of my kids?
Yes, if you want to understand the changes that are occurring in your child’s physical development.
No, if you are worried about your child becoming self-conscious about their height, weight, or physical appearance.
I’m doing my best to write a book on helping parents become decisive about the importance of fundamental movement skills, for themselves and their kids. I started blogging daily as a 3-month experiment.
Did I have enough to say?
Would I produce content of quality?
How much time would I spend on writing a blog each day?
Would anyone else read my stuff?
All valid fears. Each one has its own visiting rules. Some stay for a while and most visit daily.
Rather than wait for things to come to me, I decided that I would go to them and be curious. My kid’s physical development was one of those things. We weigh our kids each week and track something called peak weight velocity. You could also measure their height.
I don’t want my kids to compare themselves to each other.
I certainly don’t want my kids to worry about how they look.
And I’m not interested in turning this into a weird science experiment.
To be active, my hope has to be greater than my fear.
Here are my hopes.
I will become a better writer and survive financially for the next 3 months.
I can curiously watch the development of my children without bringing anxiety or judgment.
All this brings me back to the question.
Is what you are doing better or worse than doing nothing at all?
