TIL: That it's OK to do this when I want.

Published June 17, 2025

This is somewhat of a corollary to the blog post I wrote today. That was about why I am doing this. This is more about when. This, like every TIL post, is intended to serve as a reminder to myself of something I've figured out or discovered.

With that being said, what I discovered is that when I'm doing this entirely for myself it doesn't matter when I post something. Or when I write something. Or what I write about, so long as it's something that serves me.

I do want to get in the habit of doing a few posts a week. I want to exercise the creative parts of my brain that don't deal with code so I really will try to write. But I also acknowledge that life is more important and that I don't want to write for writing's sake.

Today I understood that this site, this blog, this collection of learnings, exists for me. Today I understood that I get to decide when I write and what I write. And this is a liberating thing.
