Reflecting on my current Personal Knowledge Management Workflow https://curatella.com/pkm-reflections/
Writing free-flowing daily is still essential, but it’s like playing scales to learn piano. I need to prepare for a concert.
My dear @GeoEng51 , thank you for your nice words.
I am struggling to keep up. A lot.
I need to decide if to reach 100 and reflect, or what. It's not easy to commit to daily writing. But it's too important for me to do it.
Thank you,

there are problems that can be solved, that could have been solved or that cannot be solved. Likewise, there are solutions that could solve a problem, solve a problem or could have solved a problem.
The issue is solutions and problems cannot coexist. We need to think about them on equal terms, but independently.

Instructions for living a creative life https://curatella.com/living-a-creative-life/
Creating, you become an interesting person with stimulating questions and engaging stories to tell.
A user in another forum told me the truth I didn't want to see. What I initiated as a thematic challenge in which I shared my learnings became a daily posting of links to articles on my blog. Not always related, not always engaging. Where is the learning? Where is the value for the community? I need to reflect and find a better way to share my posts.
I won't keep posting in this thread, but I won't stop writing, don't worry.
I will need to find a way to connect better with people and the kind communities which are generously hosting me.
Thanks for your patience and support so far.
You'll find me writing daily on my blog.
I need to reflect and find a better way to share my posts.
If you'd ask me as a coach (not ZK-related) I'd recommend rather to explore your reasons why you write blog posts and then choose the appropriate tools for that. I chose the word "explore" consciously. You already have your reasons independent of your conscious choice: Only some are conscious. So, exploration is what needed since most of the time, as humans, we are unchartered territory to ourselves.
My personal impression was that this whole thing, your current project, was about your writing streak which is the reason why I chose this thread title.
I have strong needs and urges. Less clear reasons.
I think better when I write, so I need to nurture my daily writing habit.
After I've "cleaned up the pipe" of flowing thoughts I feel much better.
The free-flowing writing is rarely immediately reusable as content to be published.
I tend to accumulate incomplete and unstructured drafts, useful for the act of self-reflection but not directly worth feeding my publishing workflow.
I have transitioned to a "sort-of" Zettelkasten in which I have more structure, more "atomic" drafts, and some hints of chained thoughts. My workflow is not yet at the stage of allowing me to "think in my Note Archive". There is still little structure. I have lots of prompts and half-baked ideas. That is still useful because I tend to have better-formed thoughts and better ideas for writing.
The blog post creation workflow is still weakly connected to the previous free-flowing writing and note-taking/note-making. I am still impulsive.
That is why I made huge improvements in building my daily habits. The discipline is there. I do write daily, I did it privately for one year and publicly for almost 80 days.
Hugely happy with all of the previous.
But, of course, this is not enough for me.
I want to create value by having original ideas or by explaining in effective ways old ideas. And I want to structure those objects (posts? articles? books? courses?) so that they become an important part of my life and, yes why not, also of my professional life.
I've been starting and failing in this enterprise since 1995: editorial collaborations, publishing companies, training and facilitation, online communities. It always vanished with very little evidence of it remaining if not my implicit experience (which of course is really valuable).
So, I want to make my explorations functional to create "knowledge objects". Something tangible, sharable, usable, providing learning value to people.
A little detail: this is not my daily job but a side "hobby", so I feel immensely frustrated about not having enough time to devote myself to the enterprise.
I am improving, a lot but slowly. I am looking for the next most logical steps to keep on going further and farther.

The value we can get and give in a human exchange is always potentially enormous. Even if it is online. But we need to stop and reflect to ideate.

That's a correct and precise statement.

So, my question is: Why should I care about your relationship to yourself?
