never punish the urge

if i want to brush my teeth at 3 in the afternoon, then i brush my teeth at 3 in the afternoon. 

i tend to have an aversion for doing things simply because they're "good for me" or because i "should." so that means in order to build a habit, i have to build it entirely from scratch. i have to want to do the thing. so whenever that desire shows up, i do the thing, even if it's at a time that's not when that thing is "normally" done. even if it means i brush my teeth 4 times a day rather than 2—because any nonzero number of times a day is better than zero times a day. 

so if i want to post a blogpost, even if i already posted one that day, then i guess i'm going to post a blogpost, even if i already posted one that day.
