Great advice Muslimah!
Sometimes writing everyday can take it's toll, this is when a step back is needed in order to relax a bit and refocus.
If we do this as often as is needed then we should all be able to move forward at a reasonable pace, avoid burnout and ultimately, run a successful online business!
You are right, it could lead to burning out, and that's why it's good to be realistic with what one can achieve.
Writing every day can be as simple as 100 words, just to stay in line.
Thank you for the comment, Nick.

Organization and prioritization are essential to achieving success as a content creator. Of course if you can afford to pay writers, then you are up on the game.
Many of us cannot; therefore, we are married to our own devices. The pressures we endure, no matter how grand or minor, relaxes as we improve our skills.
We got this as we take one step at a time. I was taught learn the basics, become familiar with the process, then focus on speed. Speed will come naturally as your knowledge and awareness become habit.
