Back on track after a short trip

So, I recently returned from a 2-week trip in Malaysia. This country is so underrated, most of the people who go backpacking in SE Asia skip it from their itineraries in favor of neighboring countries. I didn't hit all the amazing places Malaysia has to offer, since I prefer slow travel vs rushing from here to there and squeezing many places in a few days; I will return to visit the rest of the country soon! I loved learning about the history of Malaysia, being colonized for centuries by different nations which left their mark on this multi-faceted mix of races, religions and cultures. Feast for the eyes and taste-buds and history-buff brains like mine! Throw into the mix awesome nature, the oldest tropical rain-forest in the world, tea plantations up in 2 km altitude, outstanding islands and beaches, tranquil boat journeys... and you have the recipe for an unforgettable trip!
Uhm, ok... Didn't mean to sound like a travel agent promoting Malaysia (truly Asia!)
But I had a great time, and because I was traveling solo I was able to reflect on my goals for the past months, and I wasn't satisfied with my progress. I mean, I had lots of free time since I finished my teaching contract, and I used it researching and writing down ideas and reading reading reading!...

But that's where I usually crash and burn; all thinking and planning but no action! And without implementation, what's the point? I even have some posts sitting in draft form for ages waiting to be published, but there's always some better photos to choose from, some more research to do etc. I know, I know... Perfect is the enemy of good! So, lets start applying that mindset! Done is better than good, and there is no "perfect", and "good enough" needs to suffice!
That said, I realized that I don't want to aggressively try to monetize my travel blog yet. Publishing more posts there is the priority now, growing an audience of people who share the same passion. And I was stuck here in WA since I didn't start any website with SiteRubix yet (therefore I couldn't tick the box "create your own website" and I kept postponing the following lessons).
But I have an idea for another niche that I could start here as a free siterubix dot com site and see where it takes me. I've returned fully energized and super-motivated! And trying not to beat myself up for the slow progress.
Has anybody had a primary blog focused on a passion but chose to start a website on another interest? Am I signing up for failure if I'll try to juggle both websites? Reading other members' posts and experiences is always an inspiration.
Let me know, and have a productive week fellow Wealthy Affiliates!
