Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to talk about how having buffers is an important concept for me!
I like to have reserves, but sometimes those dwindle!
Writing posts is certainly something I have enjoyed for a long time. Given that it's been 3 years of posting daily, that means it's really engrained into my habits these days! There are certainly fluctuations of that, and that's to be expected.
We recently went on vacation, and that meant that I needed to write a fair bit more posts than I normally do, in a shorter timeframe. That's okay because there is plenty of content there, and all of it I enjoyed writing. The challenge with it though is that I have a really good bit of leeway in terms of taking a slight break when we are at the place, compared to when we get back. When we get back, I'm slightly used to the leeway!
I was pretty diligent and wrote a week buffer into my schedule which is good because it allowed for any things that popped up when we got back, to happen without me getting messed up. Some say that it's silly and foolish to be concerned about my posting, but I think it's one of those habits that we have and would like to continue. Is it the end of the world if it ends? Nope! But just like other things we enjoy, we try to maintain it as much as we can simply for the fact we enjoy it. I would rather have that as a habit than smoking or something stupid lol.
When I started to write again, I had I think 2 days left of posts in the queue before I was really in trouble, and it was good to get back to writing, but I felt a little nervous! Two days is a good buffer.. but it wasn't long enough. I was able to put out several posts and building that buffer back up, but damn it was funny how nervous I was getting. Nervous may not be the right word, but I was making sure that I would get to writing regardless of what I was doing so that I could build that buffer back up.
Thankfully I'm back up to about a week, but I would love to extend that to 2 weeks if possible. There are some uncertain waters on the horizon in the coming weeks and months, so being able to roll with that as best I can is definitely going to be a good thing!
What about you, do you like to have buffers in life so that you are prepared for things? Let me know in the comments!
