I have not 1 but 5 blogs/sites: 1. Professional blog where I showcase my different approach to my profession (operations for high tech companies), thoughts on tools, and commentary on industry news. It's kind of boring, but it's for me. 2. Portfolio site. This is where I showcase processes, systems, and tools that I have developed for the companies I have worked for or consulted for. 3. Self-therapy secret blog under a pen name that I use to vent to myself and to the world about my challenges (main is that I have anxiety). I need an outlet where I can be unfiltered. 4. Passion blog for one of my hobbies. 5. Passion blog for one of my projects related to my hobby above. WHY I BLOZg: Main reason: Writing makes people think better, and better thinking is the secret sauce for better life and better professional performance. Secondary reason: Yesterday I received a job offer for my next job. It has been a long journey that took me >6 months. Very few of my peers have an online presence and nobody has a portfolio. Having those put me on a different plane than everyone else. Interestingly enough, while I target exclusively Innovative companies, most people (CEOs and CXO) had mixed feelings about my online presence, but a few really liked it and appreciated my commitment to my craft, and my technical knowledge when it comes to web publishing. So, there's that. TL;DR: writing will make you think better, and will give you an advantage in your career. And it's self-therapy.
