Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to appreciate the waxing and waning of ability to do some writing!

Added Wiggle Room

Writing is definitely one of the enjoyable things for me. I am able to do it fairly routinely which is a positive for me in many regards. Where things start to get a little tricky is when I simply don't have the time to write!

I've been a huge promoter of post scheduling here on Hive since I really started to use it in earnest. It's been a really key ability for me to be able to continually publish content to the chain. I know some people dislike it for one reason or another, but there are certain scenarios where writing every single day just isn't conducive to a daily routine. That is definitely the boat I am in!

We've been incredibly busy lately, for many different reasons. Running between appointments, events and all that. I've barely had time to breathe nevermind write! Thankfully though I get in a habit of getting some time every few days to write something and get it scheduled. On days where I have a lot more time I am able to get several of them written and scheduled just for these vary scenarios where shit just happens in life!

We've had a fairly consistent amount of appointments between myself, the little man and my wife. With school that also means that the appointments are later in the day and it makes it a little hectic to do everything. Then you have to get all of the other household tasks done for the day after the kiddos go to sleep. By the time you're done with all that jazz, you are barely able to keep your eyes open nevermind write a few posts! That's been my life the past 2 weeks or so.

Thankfully these aren't bad things but it's the school year. Things are all in flux compared to our normal schedules that we got used to over the past many months. I think it's okay though because it gets us in a routine and it's pretty consistent which helps all around. After I finish work, we get school work done, eat dinner, take a shower and get ready for bed. It's a little jammed and hectic when we've had to squeeze in a bunch of different appointments but we make it work. That's life being a parent! Some have made comments like never having kids because life is too busy. I think that's a shame because yeah, things are busy but life is about sacrifices.

Having spent a little extra time before that getting a few different posts written and scheduled gave me some good wiggle room. I have been able to sacrifice 3 or 4 nights in a row where I don't get any writing done because I've been organized in my free time and gotten things set up. I think this is also why I like the post scheduling feature, it gives me a way to organize myself! I can be a little disorganized in other ways but in terms of technology, I try to be as organized as I can.

What about you, do you try to put things into place so that you have some wiggle room in your life? Not necessarily with posts, but with other things? Let me know in the comments!
