How I literally never run out of writing ideas

It’s been almost exactly one month since I jumped back into writing in a big way, and I’m proud to say I’ve managed to pump out 49 (!) legitimate articles in that time.

Actually, this one will be magic №50 when I hit publish. The crazy thing is that I’m having trouble finding the time to touch on everything I want to.

In fact, for every article I’ve written, I have nearly two headlines written out already that are waiting for my attention. In my notes app, I have 89 post ideas that I’d really like to get to!

Now, I have a full-time job, two young kids — both of whom I coach in hockey almost every single night — and various side hustles that all demand my attention.

I’ve sort of accepted the fact that I may never get to a large percentage of these posts (though I have to admit, as an ADHD person, I am fixating on that and it still does annoy me!).

The important thing, however, is that they’re there when I’m ready to grab one or two and develop them out into full posts.

I see some people post that they’re sometimes feeling unmotivated to write, or they can’t think of enough topics to be consistent.
