RE: Pushing The Limits.

It could just be the topics. You gave yourself a plan/outline so you wouldn't have to scramble for topics but also when you plan stuff like that it can become "work", whereas if you wanted to write to reduce stress then you kind of need to do more freewriting (similar to what you've just done here) where the main purpose is to get your thoughts out of your head/processed with little to no regard for "quality".
contrary to popular belief it is entirely possible to process inside your head, writing it out is a metric boatload easier unless/until you learn how to backburn
Your bitmoji reminded me of my daughter, she has been going to the gym with her gym rat boyfriend (lovely kid) and he apparently was trying to get her to bench press the other day and she told us that she couldn't even bench the bar by itself with no weights on it XD
Only a couple more days to the end of the month. Then take a break :)
or keep the streak if you think you got it sussed I donno XD

I think you are right about it being work and maybe that's what eating away at my motivation.
Planning and putting things in the calendar is ok for work-related things not for fun activities. I guess I need to plan better. and It's time that I discuss things with inuke.
Thanks for the push.

Hey!! those bars are heavy. I am not kidding. XD.
If you have a very busy schedule, put the free time on your calendar to make sure that you make time for it. You can literally put it as "free time" if even putting simple words like "blog" or "read" with no other direction (implication being you can blog or read etc whatever you want) makes you feel like it's "work" and automatically makes you feel like you don't want to do it even if you do XD
She said the bars were 20kg which is not heavy but benching is a slightly odd use of muscles for moving things around which I think might be more the issue XD
I am going to try this method, too. Like you said, planning the details is what's messing me up. I should be setting the topics and details. Maybe that's why I have been avoiding the movie reviews. But how would you get things done if you are leaving out the details?
I am with her. 20 kg is not easy. XD
I am so not going to the gym next month, maybe in Apr. Priya has been asking me to join. Just don't want to have those nasty muscle aches.

You should or shouldn't be setting topics and details?
If you need the details written down somewhere could you add some keywords that would convince your brain to not associate the calendar event with your job? Or have a fun colour for your blogging calendar? Or call it "free time" or "blogging time" or whatever you want on the calendar and have a separate list somewhere to look at for topics?
I kind of do the latter with project work, it's on my "work" calendar literally just as "project work" and I have notes with checklists in Obsidian.
Sorry abt the typo. I shouldn't be setting anything.
But after some thinking, free writing is good only when you want to get some random writing done. But if I am to write a story or anything. I have to put down details or key points, but at the same time, I shouldn't rush it by putting a clock on it.
I have a work to-do list where I have set all the details. Like priority, ownership, start date, Last update and current status. It was boring so I gave everything a color. Critical and High priority takes red. Low gets sky blue, and regular is Yellow. It is so funny how our brain works by simply color coding. I get it to relax and focus on the important things. Maybe I should do the for my personal to do. My work to-do means business; my personal todo, not so much. Maybe its time to change something in personal workspace.
