Im writing from the in-between.
Im not doing great, sure, but Im not doing bad.
Im sitting here, typing these words Im functioning.
History suggests that, in a couple of days, Ill be in a pretty good place.
Thats been the cycle since March 2020.
The past couple of years have been hard on all of us, in different ways.
But I wager more than a few people reading this article are traveling along their own personal good/in-between/bad spectrum.
Use your good days to plan for the bad ones

Neither of those reactions is particularly helpful.
So I try not to operate that way anymore.
One good day isnt a sign that the bad days are over but one good day is an opportunity.
What does that look like?
Outlining and brainstorming
Actual writing, for me, is like operating on autopilot.
Thinking of ideas, though?
Writing snippets
I bet a good percentage of the emails and messages you write every day are more-or-less identical.
Snippets make that easier.
Automating things
Automation is a habit, and a good day is a great time to work on it.
Spend your good days building bots, so they can work for you on the bad days.
Here arefew automation ideasto get you started, and my colleague Krystina even wrote about usingautomation to fight burnout.
Its helping me a lot, and I hope it helps you.
