Not Only Luck.
An essay by John Melonakos

I Wrote About That Before

There are over 450 posts on this blog now. One big advantage of keeping a daily blog is the ability to pull from previous posts to supplement in-the-moment needs.

I often find myself saying, “I’ve written about this before.” My archive of posts provides a very useful reservoir I pull from in daily business.

I am constantly surprised by the unexpected benefits of maintaining a consistent blog. It is like a journal. It is a public spot for me to air ideas and generate feedback that guides my business.

Many people often ask how do I find the time to blog daily. After living it for 15 months, I think it would be hard to go back to operating without the thinking cadence a daily post provides.

I recommend blogging consistently. Writing down thoughts, especially thoughts that are immediately relevant to things you are working on, can be a very useful refining fire for your ongoing labor.
