Timing and Visibility

17 May 2015

It’s been almost 3 weeks since my last post, and I’m losing steam. I think there’s an issue of timing and visibility with writing these posts. And since I’m making this a meta-discussion on writing posts in the first place, let’s take a look at those issues.

Timing. I need to schedule time to write. Full stop. Things have been a little crazy of late, but I generally write the bones for one of these posts in a single Pomodoro (25 minutes for those of you that aren’t trying to be productivity nerds). That’s a manageable chunk of time, and moving forward I will put that time on my schedule.

Visibility. I have historically not really enjoyed being public with my thoughts and actions, and I don’t think I’m unique in this regard. Anytime I speak, write, or perform it places me in a position where my inner workings feel more exposed. Now, logically, I’m pretty confident that no one really cares enough about what I’m writing here to make an issue, and more importantly, anyone who would start something negative over what I’ve written here isn’t really worth my time. So there’s that. But it still tickles.

On an visibility related note, I think a post on Nerdiness is in order. There’s beauty in owning up to the things you love, and discord in keeping the things you love hidden in an attempt to fit in.

Ice broken. Joseph out.
