petition for theunitofcaring to get a real blog
Right now this would be a very bad idea! Hits on a blog are, as it happens, a quantifiable thing that changes every minute and tends to go up when I work harder. When presented with things like this, my brain adopts them as the totality of its self-esteem and stops working on all goals that are harder to measure/optimize.
(last time I tried this I failed all my classes. I really suck at incentives.)
However! I have attained a software internship this summer and I should have more free time and capacity-to-motivate-myself-to-do-my-homework is less relevant and it would be really cool to have a real blog. So maybe I’ll do it then.
Perhaps there’s a way of preventing yourself from being able to see the analytics? Like that add-on that hides your Tumblr follower count. (I don’t know what add-on that is, but one of my friends has mentioned using it, so I know it exists.)
I don’t know you well enough to even hazard a guess at how difficult undoing the blocking would need to be for it to be effective, but it’s something to consider if and when you start looking into getting a long-form blog.
*signs petition, on condition of finding a way around self-esteem traps*
