This blog has existed for a few years now, but in my opinion, it doesn’t have enough content. While not publishing enough is certainly a common feeling amongst bloggers , I mostly held back because I felt I didn’t have anything meaningful to post. Instead of writing more, I proscratinated by switching static blog engines too often. No more ! I hereby resolve to write more often, even if it means publishing smaller posts. This outburst of positive energy came from 2 blog posts: varun’s , harmatti’s.
Basically, it suggests to attribute yourself some badges upon completion for a certain task. Some rewards are low-hanging fruits to start you in the process but advanced rewards, like a video game, require more effort. Here the badges I’ve came up with:
