The task of writing a daily blog post

The task I have set myself, which has become a daily routine for years now, of writing a blog post on this blog every day can be a pain in the butt.

But when I am faced, at 5.30 am, with a blank Word document and a blinking cursor I am forced to think about what happened yesterday or over the last week.

What did I notice?

What did I learn?

The value of the task I have set myself then becomes crystal clear.
