Asking which is better doesn’t help anyone decide — it’s like restating the question, but making it sound like you’re contributing something.

The questions remain:

• Is there time?
• When will you do it?
• What are you giving up?
• Who might benefit?
• Is it sustainable?
• How adaptable are you?
• Where are the breaks (Sabbath)?
• Why do you want to do it in the first place?
• Does it have to be consistent?
• What are the benefits you aren’t considering?

I have maintained a blog for about twenty years. This one for sixteen. Am I writing here regularly? I think so.

For the better part of two years, I wrote here daily. Is that regular? Certainly. Everyone would say it is. Last summer, I slowed down a bit, publishing 5-6 days per week. Is that still regular?

I’m slowing down more (for reasons — you’ll hear more soon). Still regular if I post twice a week? Or once?

My podcast doesn’t come out every week. Sometimes it does. Then I get busy. That’s pretty irregular. Would it be better if I were more consistent? Probably. But what comes along with that? And is it worth it? Maybe?

The thing about regular and irregular is that they are always relative. Often to each other. Often to our expectations, too. So a yes or no may not actually answer the deeper question: Should I do this? If it is still “maybe” or “probably” or “I guess so” you still have some work to do.

Nail down whether it is worth it or not. Then we can discuss what it will take, what you might have to give up, and whether it is still worth it.

If it’s not worth it, make it easy on yourself. Redefine regular. Chances are you can do that.
