Dayu wrote this article on his blog: Bloggers, I want to ask you these 9 questions! - Another Dayu. These questions are quite interesting, so I’ll ask myself as well.
-
Briefly introduce yourself or your blog?
- Hello, my name is "A Bit Impatient." Interestingly, when people meet me, they feel that I am not impatient at all, which seems inconsistent with my nickname and arouses some curiosity. It should be after I came across "The Card Note Writing Method" in 2021 that I started trying to create. Later, I attempted to write some articles on platforms like Yuque and Zhihu. I have always wanted to find a suitable platform to build my own blog, and this year I discovered xLog - Write. and built my blog A Bit Impatient (xlog.app) on web3. It mainly records my learning, work, and life experiences and insights.
-
What prompted you to start blogging?
- To write a blog, you first need to start writing. In 2021, I accidentally saw a recommendation for "The Card Note Method" on Zhihu. After reading it, it felt like I had opened up my writing channels, and the pressure of writing seemed to lessen significantly. I then got involved in the field of knowledge management and wrote my first article My Knowledge Processing Factory—Refusing to Transport - Minority (sspai.com) during the "Digital Stationery Box" writing contest by the Minority community, and I received a fee for it. This beginning had a significant impact on me; it turned out that I also had the ability to write.
-
How do you complete your creations?
- Haha, still "The Card Note Writing Method." In my learning and work, I jot down my inspirations or ideas in Flomo or my note-taking software—Siyuan Note. Then I look up relevant materials to continuously improve and supplement. When the content I have accumulated or my thoughts become clear, I combine these "cards" and process them to complete my creation.
-
Have you ever lost motivation while running your blog? If so, what helped you recover? If not, how do you maintain your passion for writing?
- I don’t set requirements for myself to write one article a week or one a month. However, after buying a camera last year, I became "obsessed" with photography, and my writing became slack. This year, I have regained some of my writing feelings. Some difficulties in work and study seem to stimulate my desire to create even more.
-
How to build a blog, and what is the annual investment needed to operate a blog?
- I built my blog through xLog - Write., which is a web3 blog building solution and requires zero cost investment.
-
Recommend one article from your blog and one blog you enjoy reading, and discuss the reasons.
- Rebuilding Nearby—How Should I Regain My Life - A Bit Impatient (xlog.app) is an article I wrote last month, although the idea for this article emerged back in August. The "tyranny of time" since industrialization has made us lose control over our lives, and I wrote a bit about how to regain life from our surroundings.
- A blog I enjoy reading—previously I always read Shaonan's "Product Contemplation," but it has been discontinued, which is somewhat regrettable.
-
Recommend one recent favorite thing?
(For example, books, movies, music, tools, software.)
- Recently, I was recommended "Follow," which is an RSS aggregation tool. I am trying to aggregate the blogs and information streams I follow to manage fragmented information input in a unified way. This is a great application that I really like.
-
What is something you want to do but haven't done yet, or a theme you want to try but haven't tried yet?
- I don’t seem to have anything particularly I want to do. I hope to have enough creative motivation to continue writing.
-
Writing to this point, close your eyes, take a deep breath for a few minutes, or go for a walk, then come back and write anything you want.
- I went out for lunch, and it was drizzling. An autumn rain brings a chill; it seems that winter is coming before I have even felt autumn. There is no greater desire for sunshine than now.
- I feel a bit lost; it seems that the fog of the rainy day is also affecting my mood.
- In the afternoon, I will look at the book my friend gave me and write something.
