I second this. Small chunks is easier than one massive thing all at once.
I also have the habit of keeping a `~/notes.md` file, which I can access at the drop of a hat with a shell shortcut (I use fish, so I have the function `nn` which calls `$EDITOR ~/notes.md`). If you use multiple computers, which I do, you can use a common git repo with a branch for each computer as a backup. I generally end up writing a few notes every day, which means if I want to publish something in the future I have good source material to use.
Apologies if this post was a bit self centered, I hope my sharing my methods might be useful :)

Oh, I did spin up a Honk instance to keep notes on "things-i-did". It ... does not have many posts (83 since 2022-05). Ironically it doesn't have "set up honk instance for note-taking" in there.
But the `notes.md`+`git` idea might work. Although I know the first time I get a conflict on the `pull`, it'll all fall down...
