I've struggled with perfectionism procrastination. For example, I've tried in the past to start a weekly newsletter for my blog but was never consistent with it.

In the middle of November, I started a daily (M-F) newsletter on topics related to DevOps. I've been consistent with it ever since.

The strategies the article outlines that have helped me the most are breaking things down into small pieces and starting small.

Also, by making my newsletter daily, it took a lot of pressure off me. I didn't feel like I had to have a "hit" every article like with weekly or monthly cadences. If the article sucked, then tomorrow is a new day with a new article.
