Why Start a Blog?

My first blog post is based on the following question… “why start a blog?”

Because it forces me to reflect and organise my thoughts, allowing me to make better decisions through improved clarity.

Further explanations are below:

• The first mentor I worked with told me to do so.

• Writing coherently is a valuable skill.

• I want to write a book some day.

• It helps me express myself to like-minded people.

• It can act as my decision log (documents my thinking), on which I can later reflect.

• Tim Ferris does it.

• Smart people do it.

• I will take it more seriously than journaling.

• When I come to a realisation, I will document it here, therefore increasing the likelihood that it sticks with me.

• I make leaps and jumps in my thinking and writing forces me to close the logic gap, helping me understand reality and myself better.

• It seems like a fun idea to document my thoughts.

• I am scared of judgement and by putting my thoughts on the internet (fear exposure), I will start to care less about judgement.

• I want to.

Note to self: Do not try to make these posts perfect, just allow yourself to write whatever my brain manufactures within that moment.
