Good advice. The only slight complication here is when people blog for the sake of it, then wonder why they get no traffic. If you have nothing to say, I'd suggest letting this week's blog post go.
Another tricky complication is knowing your audience- I'm a developer, and the stuff I find interesting at work is wildly different from the potential audience of a company blog.
That's what I'm thinking so I'm trying to find a reason why everyone is hosting it on a subdomain. One reason may be that if you're hosting your blog separately on like for example WPEngine you need to have it on a subdomain or else you will not benefit from things like scaling (since it still needs to go through your server if it's a subfolder).
"Unfortunately, a post is never “finished” and you can always make improvements. At some point, after you’ve iterated a few times on your work, you just have to let go and post."
Any tips on getting better at letting go, or reducing friction in the process for an over-thinker?
I think it's just the old 'practice makes perfect'. It still takes me a couple of hours to write a ~300 word post, but the more I do it, the faster I get at it. Just keep on writing and you'll get a feel for when it's done 'enough'.

Do you have a quick explanation or link as to why a subdirectory is better?
