I had this issue too, and realized you can frame it by setting expectations in the title.
Some posts have needed the 100-200 hours of thinking/visualization, labeled with things like "Interactive Guide to the Fourier Transform" (https://betterexplained.com/articles/an-interactive-guide-to-the-fourier-transform/ https://betterexplained.com/articles/an-interactive-guide-to...)
Others are smaller insights, written in a day ("Quick Insight: Easier Arithmetic With Calculus" -https://betterexplained.com/articles/calculus-arithmetic/ https://betterexplained.com/articles/calculus-arithmetic/).
Others are more essays/thought pieces, learning strategies, etc.
Setting the expectation up front that not every post is a big thesis-style conclusion can take away the pressure to only create those. (You can have appetizers, entrees, and desserts on the menu!)
Often your big articles are built after working through ideas in smaller ones. (The Fourier Transform emerged after getting insights on e, imaginary numbers, Euler's Formula, degrees vs. radians, etc.).
