The Art of Blogging / a belated mid-year resolution.

20/07/2020 3 comments

Since leaving Phase One I have submitted 1x very short blog post. This is significantly less than the recommended minimum of one/month.

Meanwhile the client’s representative on my project has no issue filling my inbox with updates from site, which, to be clear, is currently a hardstanding awaiting the delivery of some site offices.

How can they produce so much content from so little?  

The updates are short and sweet but make a point.  A geo-tagged photo with the comment: “Hoarding sign has come away. Stronger cable ties required.”

Clearly, a balance needs to be struck between aimless waffle and a blog to assist in the Professional Development of the collective but my question to the floor is have we gone too far the other way?

Do we all just view the blog as a chore at the end of a long day / yet another thing you need to research and produce? Would a quick update about something you thought was interesting, sent direct from your mobile, increase the frequency of Blog posts and allow us to know more about each other’s experience?

I don’t know the answer but will try and blog a bit more in the 2nd half of the year… So long as TMR 2, Thesis Form B, TMR 3, AER 3 and Thesis Form C don’t get in the way.  😉
