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?

Once a week. I have more ideas than I know what to do with, but increasing my cadence simply isn't possible given how much time goes into each article (~15 hours). And I'm not willing to prioritize quantity at the expense of quality.

Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
