I'd like to work on my writing skills. Some mix of nerdiness and personal Journaling. https://dynomight.net/ is a website that I'm quite inspired by, as it's a interesting mix of personal commentary (https://dynomight.net/advice/) and deep data dives into e.g. homelessness and seed oils.
My main barriers are 1) writing discipline and 2) some obsessive need to link/cite every claim I make. This results in me taking months to write an article, be it due to laziness or constant rabbitholes/google scholar searches about an idea.
Any clue on dedicated disciplined writing time or even considering "reducing" the rigor of writing?
I find when I'm swamped it's because I lack decision making skills. It's a soft skill to keep your workload manageable. There's no substitute to constantly making decisions. And I suspect is the key to being a 10x developer (besides being smart)
Over-researching is probably better than under-researching. To reduce time spent researching, try imposing a deadline. The difficulty will be sticking to it, since nobody but yourself will be breathing down your neck.
