It's important to just take it slow. I tried to do the posting seven days a week thing a long time ago and I was on the verge of burnout. Five days seems to be a good balance for me. If I have time on the weekend to get caught up I do, if I don't I don't. It's a good feeling. I was hoping to hit 100K by the end of this year, but that clearly isn't going to happen!
Wise words man! I enjoy writing when I have time to think. During the work week I struggle with my work demands. I think keeping it obtainable will help out with burn out. I also don't want to make it a chore so we will see how 2025 works out. I know you did not make it to 100k yet but your growth this year has been awesome to witness.
