Hi Marin, I feel your struggles. I am in the same situation as yours. I have a full time job and family with 2 kids. It's hard to find time to work on side projects. My suggestion is to start a project and you can keep writing a dairy about your product. It doesn't need to be an essay, maybe just some screenshots and some development notes to remind what you have solved during the day. Good luck

I struggled initially with remembering to write daily too. It took some experimenting to find the best timing to write - a time which is stable/unchanging, and unlikely to be disturbed. Initially I went with evening after dinner, but since having a kid, I went for post-lunch. And reminder alarms did help initially too - just a daily alarm in the evening to ask if you had written for the day, just in case I missed it.

That's true, and that helped me a lot too. With my job though, I have to be on-call for some time and it can end up eating the whole evening without me realizing. When 1AM rings, I can't even think about writing.

Not really. It is not great SEO wise, and the topics are all over the place so organic growth is pretty much nil. Also, since I don't have a big following and I post about the new writings in places where not many people are interested (especially to click the link), it does not move the needle either.

TBH, I'm mostly doing it to prove to myself that I can do it. Also, I will learn more about writing correctly simply because I will have had written quite a lot.
