Simply the title of this post should say it all.
Actually, I have more than 15 blogs, but we're not going to count the ones I have declared "dormant." We're also not counting the ones I remember, but I seem unable to locate. Maybe the hosting venues died...?
We're also not counting the ones I am keeping up with (to the best of my ability) as part of my delving into decentralization and cryptocurrency. Those are actually my most active. But that's for a whole separate post, on a different day!
Maybe that all sounds crazy, but all of these blogs are somehow relevant, either to one of my businesses, or one of my hobbies or something else of importance to me.
Why start a blog, you might ask? Why NOT, I might respond...
The reason this popped up on my radar was that this morning I decided that it was time for me to formally map all my web profiles, as part of a greater attempt at "getting organized" and acting more like a Responsible Adult™.
What we're really looking at here is a form of hyperfocus. When I decide that something is interesting, I don't get into it in a half-assed way. It gets a blog, a web site, a twitter, a Facebook page, and God knows what else. I have this feeling that "normal" people just join a Facebook group that sounds interesting, and then pretty much forget that they even joined.
Or maybe they don't forget, because they only join one thing at a time.
Regardless of what "they" do, as I was filling in the blanks about my blogs in my newly created spreadsheet, I felt one of my old demons still lurking. By the time I got to recording the basic information of about the 8th blog... I would feel my brain starting to resist. I felt myself wanting to "stop, and do the rest later."
Which is pretty much why I ended up with 15 blogs!
Blogging is good for me, though. A blog post represents pretty much the amount of time I can concentrate on a piece of writing before I start to lose interest and my mind wanders off-focus.
And yes, I did actually force myself to finish recording the basic info for all fifteen blogs!
