I must consider, from time to time, whether my time spent writing on this blog is a good use of my time. Things have changed quite a good deal from a few short years ago when the written word online still had some power. Now, effective online marketing is all about video. Therefore, if one… Continue reading Daily blogging-is it worth it in 2025?

Forcing myself to write a blog post every day
Forcing myself to write on this blog every day obliges me, each morning, to look around and wrack my brain for something to write about. This has the enormous benefit of forcing me to cycle back through the last day, and week if necessary, to find something worthy of comment. It may not be the… Continue reading Forcing myself to write a blog post every day
Daily blogging under constant review
When I started writing a blog post on this blog a few years ago it was with a view to becoming a better writer from the act of repetition and practice. Over time other benefits became apparent.

I have managed to achieve that daily goal and have developed what I believe to be a tremendously valuable asset; an asset for me personally and my business.

The mental health benefits of blogging
I am firmly convinced that blogging has significant mental health benefits. In the same way that a diary years ago provided a secret, sacred place for a person to unload what was on their mind a blog can provide a similar benefit nowadays. You never would have published your diary and it would have been… Continue reading The mental health benefits of blogging
I am going to blog daily for 12 months
Today is the first day of my daily blog. I have attempted to blog daily in the past and have always failed. Failed if you consider not continuing failure. But I had reasons for quitting, and they were not just to do with the commitment of blogging daily. Anyway, I won’t go into that now.… Continue reading I am going to blog daily for 12 months
