Timeslots
The other day, a friend of mine asked me how I could find time to blog in my busy schedule. After all, good content takes time to create and I’m blogging in a non-native language too, so, according to him, I would have to spend even more time on creating an entry than normal bloggers do.
The way I come up with posts is rather unorthodox. When I go to bed, after reading the last news of the day, I’ll start reminiscing on the events of the day and the past week. After finding something that interests me, I’d grab my phone and jot down a few quick thoughts and finally go to sleep.
The inspiration I get for writing entries isn’t really limited to personal stuff though. Sometimes it’s a project at college that I’ve been working on and sometimes it’s something I read somewhere that I have a strong opinion about that I want to share with others.
The next morning then, I’d grab my notes while commuting and think them through again, sometimes you come up with great ideas before going to bed and at other times you just don’t.
Not all of the notes I jot down are really worthy to write about and if they are not, I’ll just have to wait for another rush of inspiration to come my way. However, if I deem a set of notes interesting, I’d start writing more about it…
There have been occasions when I started writing and midway through, I’d come up with another possible entry, not necessarily related to the current one, and jot that one down too.
All in all, I just utilize the time that is available to me in the best way possible, I guess.
Brainstorming for College
It’s close to 10 am and I’m sitting here with a group of other motivated students. Today’s session will be split in two parts: the first part will be about coming up with creative ideas for IT usage till the year 2020 and in the afternoon, we’ll try to think of possible ways to enhance the (IT - related) life of future students for the time till 2010.
We just received our welcome package with a nice gadget: a branded 256mb MP3 player, useless to me but nice nonetheless.
