Why this project exists

I’m a writer who struggles to keep a writing habit. I tell myself, “after I’m done with this project I’ll work on my writing habit” but then I finish the project or something else comes along and I’m back to telling myself, “soon, right after this”

And then, when I do get a flash of inspiration or an urge to write, I do it wherever is most easily accessible at the time. This means that almost everything I write is scattered across different places, formats, and between meat and cyberspace.

I also want to publish my work, and that’s a problem, because how can I publish anything if I don’t make a habit of writing and most of my writing is so disorganized it’s hard to even begin to edit.

However, I started noticing a pattern. I set Notion as one of the apps on my phone’s taskbar, or whatever it’s called, and opened it every day to take notes and jot down ideas. This made Notion the go-to app when I got those urges to write, and so then I actually had a writing habit, I just wasn’t using it to publish. So I figured rather than waiting for the right time to develop a writing habit, why not tap into a habit I already have and make publishing effortless by removing the friction from writing to live?

My first idea was to create a blog from Notion; so I could create a page in Notion that gets published to my blog… 👆
