These days, I simply write what I feel, typically about what happened that day. The words come out as they will. They're primarily simple blogs, and recently a weekly contest (which I like).
Sometimes I feel more motivated and write things out a bit ahead of time and schedule them, which helps out when I have upcoming plans and/or may want to take some time off from writing.
I also have a backlog of blogs I've prewritten consisting of educational material relating to my career, so in case I'm ever gone for an extended period, I can easily schedule those out as well. Those are helpful for my studies, so it's doubly efficient for me.
In life in general... well, my family motivates me to continue working. I want to be able to take care of them. Personal ambitions are also significant for me and continue to drive me. I want to leave some impact that's a little bit bigger than most (I know it's not good to compare myself to others, but in this case it drives me, so I let it be).
The prospect of earned relaxation is also a nice one, although I keep finding ways to delay that. There will come a time when I will have to learn to loosen up!
