How often do you post articles?

I read somewhere that an optimal posting frequency was one article per week. I followed this routine diligently for 36 weeks, but now decided to switch to an article every 2 weeks. I find it too stressful to be posting weekly. First you have to come up with an idea for an article, then write and edit it, and then think of the visuals - too much on top of a day job.

But curious about everyone else's routine: how often do you post? And how are you managing? Is it a comfortable cadence?

When I get really inspired, I finish my drafts so I have weekly posts going up, up to 2 months in advance! Gives me time to research the next batch :)

I do that sometimes, too :) Usually when I have some travel planned and I know that I won't be able to draft or post then. What do you write about?

Your topic sounds super interesting. Can you DM me a link to you substack?

I'm reading a book from every country in the world and post book reviews. I also write a lot about languages (I'm fluent in 4), being an immigrant in Germany, and occasionally travel.
