How Blogging Killed My Creativity
Before Cogroll I was a successful freelancer and developer. I had projects coming out my ears, for both clients and myself. With so many website projects on the go, I had an abundance of excess ideas.
That’s when I decided to start blogging about my ideas. I had a good backlog of ideas to start up but it quickly got to a stage where my ideas ran thin, and for some reason I was not coming up with new ones as easily as before.
I tried to counteract this by expanding my focus. But as I tried to expand the blog to cater for ever wider audiences, I alienated the one person needed to make it a success, myself.
I know most people post their ‘link love’ on a Saturday but I thought I would branch out - As we take this Sunday to relax and prepare for the coming week, I’d like to take the opportunity to present you with a last hurrah of ideas and articles from the week gone by. [The Sunday Salvo may or may not become a regular feature depending on how it is received.]
To-do lists are a vital tool for every aspiring entrepreneur. Keeping track of what you need to do makes work-flow a lot easier. Having said that, it’s always a bit depressing looking at a full to-do list. The only positive aspect is watching the list shrink as you complete tasks. However, once you’ve finished a task on the list, they just vanish like they were never done!
