There are two main reasons I started blogging.
Blogging gives me a way to showcase my personality, creativity, and technical skills in a format that’s always available. Instead of just handing someone a résumé, I can point them to my website where they see my projects, writing style, and interests. It’s proof of what I can do, not just a list of jobs.
I was influenced by creators like NetworkChuck and Ali Abdaal, who both recommend starting a blog or personal website right now. Some of their videos that helped push me are:
The definition of productivity (such as time, labor, or materials) is to produce a desired outcome, output, or result. But why do I say it’s snake oil?
It’s unmeasured and undefined. What most people call productivity is really just busywork. We measure it in quantity before quality—and there’s a big difference.
There’s a quote: “Bite off more than you can chew.” That’s what people are doing in the pursuit of productivity. So we end up turning in half-hearted work, which we sometimes have to redo, just to say we got more done. It’s not attainable—there’s always more to do. So we rush, repeat, and burn out.
