When I started blogging, I tried to set a regular publishing schedule. One article a week sounded manageable. During a busy period, it became another task I was falling behind on.
Eventually, I changed the goal: whenever a question seemed worth keeping, I would write down a few sentences.
Start with a specific question
“Write about design” is a broad assignment. “Why does the mobile article list work without an excerpt?” gives the writing somewhere to begin.
A small experiment is worth recording without turning it into an entire theory.
Let an article grow in stages
Save an observation, add the background later, then organise it into an article. Separating those stages means the next writing session does not have to begin with a blank page.
Leave the real process visible
An article does not have to be a perfect summary of the past. Open questions and ideas that changed along the way can become useful clues later.
Writing more slowly leaves time to notice. Continuing to write leaves a record of how those observations change.
