Like with every habit, there's less and less friction with every finished attempt. (speaking from personal experience, I'm terrible at publishing consistently)

Could be. What works for me is finding something small enough that I can't overcomplicate it (write today, edit and publish tomorrow, done!). Then, I will (obviously) overcomplicate it, but instead of ending up with a week-long commitment, I spend 3-4 evenings instead of 2. (example: https://sonnet.io/posts/reactive-hole/)

I would also suggest treating writing a post (or a series) as a project itself.

I feel like we're struggling with a similar problem. Good luck!
