Order in the Chaos - Obsidian and writing

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

I’m quite a chaotic person. Yep, I do have self-awareness, at least in that respect. I love many things and doing many things. I start a lot of projects, but I don’t finish all of them. Or rather: They are in various stages of ‘complete’.

That sometimes gives you the feeling that you’re not getting things done, or that they don’t matter. Especially since I write these things for myself. But a few weeks ago, I decided that things have to change. Not only because conversations with my coach made some issues clear, or because things are a bit messy at my daily job. Of course not 😃

Gutenberg in WordPress, what is it?

Sat, 18 Nov 2017 21:06:43 +0000

In a next version of WordPress a new editor will be used: Gutenberg. The idea is that this editor is based on a block system, which would make it easier to create pages and posts.

This post was also created with Gutenberg. And I must say that it works quite well. It’s different than usual, but it still feels logical. At least for me.

Step-by-step plan: How to start your own blog?

You want to show a little more of yourself, perhaps you have asked yourself: How do you start your own blog? Well, I can tell you that it’s not that difficult at all. It’s easier than writing texts for your blog.

To start a blog you need a few things:

Inspiration
Willpower
Time

Yes, but, you might say, that’s not all I need, is it? No, that’s right. In addition to the above things, you also need technical resources. The most important thing is a place where you can post your thoughts or blogs.

How do you get through writer's block? 7 tips

Sun, 06 Aug 2017 14:37:51 +0000

Maybe you never suffer from it, but I do: writer’s block. The strange thing is that it doesn’t happen that often to me when I’m under pressure from a deadline. Then the words generally flow from my fingers. That does not mean that they are the most beautiful pieces of text from a linguistic point of view, but at least it is something.

But every now and then nothing comes out of my fingers. I then look at my screen with a dazed look, hoping that there is something meaningful that I still have to type. So that usually doesn’t happen. As the nervousness builds, I stare into the distance and hope that motivation is written on the wall somewhere.
