To Blog or not to Blog?

Have been thinking about this for a while. Decided not to blog. Then came full circle.

Why have I been thinking about this?

I have some free time on my hand and have to decided to resurrect one of my pet projects and finish it.

So with a project at hand, I have enough on my plate already. A blog would only distract.

Probably.

But committing to publish my progress and jot down some of my ideas and learnings publicly would hold myself accountable. Most things I finish have accountability attached to it.

With work, it’s mostly some kind of result that is expected at a certain point in time. With private projects - for example the photography scavenger hunt it is mostly the deadlines that urge me to complete my work.

So after at first having decided to not do it, especially to not publish on social media, I decided to get a blog going to hold myself accountable. And also to add a deadline to the project.

It will also help myself to reflect on my decisions, while writing them down. And: Writing on the blog will allow me to spill thoughts without having to nail it straight away.

Let’s see where this goes.
