Don’t force yourself to do it.
A clear distinction here is things that you think you “should“ do, and things that you must do.
For example, I think the reason why it is so hard for people to start exercising and working out, going to the gym is this:
They don’t want to.
For many people, it feels like this strange duty that one must do, rather than something that one wants to do.
Maybe the same thing is with blogging, vlogging, starting a YouTube channel, etc.; nobody should feel like they must do something against their own will, a lot of people think they “should“ do it, for marketing, business purposes etc. However, I say if your soul is not really into it, don’t even bother.
100% passion or nothing.
