Writing vs posting

A surprising (but good!) thing about trying to write more has been the momentum building. As I have been writing more I've been wanting to write more, making each bit of writing feel less difficult.

A surprising (but bad!) thing about trying to write more has been caring way more about the "quality" of what I post. As I've started more and more drafts I'm feeling more and more self-conscious about them, making each bit of writing feel way more difficult.

I wouldn't say they two balance each other out, but the good thing is that starting a draft and never posting it is still thinking-by-writing so I get most of the benefits even if it never gets posted.

What is the right ratio of writing vs posting for me right now, I wonder? How might it change over time?
