  1. Do you know this, too? You work on a post, don’t like it anymore, discard it? I do this. Good reason: Not making a point. Bad reason: Doubt. I just dusted off (and dated back) 5 old posts. Retrieving them feels odd—but also cool. Over the next days, let me share them with you.

      📝 Crowdfunding, 5 Years and 81 Projects Later: This is a post I wrote in 2015 that I only publish now. What I like about it? It has numbers! I used to be an avid crowdfunder, until I realized I threw away a lot of money. This tells parts of the story. meiert.com/en/blog/years-of-crowdfunding/

        📝 On Mistakes: This is also a post from 2015 that I only publish now. What I like about it? Well, it falls squarely into my “philosophy time,” and I enjoy the half-academic (the approach!), half-optimistic (“there are no mistakes”) ring of the article. meiert.com/en/blog/on-mistakes/

          📝 Why Being a Digital Nomad Sucks (to Me): This is a post I wrote in 2018 that I only publish now. What I like about it? Authenticity!—I can be cautious, but I’m always as open and upfront as possible. And then nomadism is such an elevated topic. meiert.com/en/blog/nomadism/

            📝 Survival of the Primitive: This is a post I wrote in 2018 that I only publish now. Why I like it? Frankly, because there’s something really wrong with “Survival of the Fittest.” I’m not sure this post is the answer, but—I now respect the attempt. meiert.com/en/blog/survival-of-the-primitive/

              📝 Caring About Comments: This is a post I wrote in 2020 that I only publish now. What I like about it? The attitude! The post is self-critical (let’s question us as authors!) but also constructive (here are things we can do to make commenting better) 👍 meiert.com/en/blog/caring-about-comments/
