Dayu wrote this article on his blog: Hey Blogger, 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). It mainly records my learning, work, and life experiences.
-
What prompted you to start writing a blog?
- Writing a blog first requires starting to write. 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 into 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" essay activity by the Minority group, and I received a fee for it. This beginning had a significant impact on me; it turned out 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 thoughts in Flomo or my note-taking software—Siyuan Note. Then I look up relevant materials and continuously improve and supplement them. When the content I have accumulated or my thought processes 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 "addicted" to 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 financial investment required to operate it?
- 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 like to read, and discuss the reasons.
- Rebuilding Nearby—How Should I Regain My Life - A Bit Impatient (xlog.app) is an article I wrote last month. Of course, the idea for this article came to me back in August. The "tyranny of time" since industrialization has made us lose control of our lives. I wrote a bit about how to regain life from our surroundings and nearby areas.
- A blog I like to read—previously, I always read Shaonan's "Product Reflections," 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 into one place to manage fragmented information input uniformly. It’s 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?
- It seems I don’t have anything particularly I want to do yet. 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 even feel autumn. There is nothing I desire more than sunshine right now.
- I feel a bit lost; it seems that the fog of the rainy day is affecting my mood.
- In the afternoon, I will look at the book my friend gave me and write something.
