Trying out Tumblr
Two years ago I started a WordPress blog. Its aim was to document my experiences of getting my life in order with Getting Things Done but it gradually turned into a blog on productivity miscellany and Mac software reviews. For the first year I updated it fairly regularly but it has now lain dormant for over a year. I regularly feel guilty for letting it languish and not adding updates when so many posts are now out of date.
One reason I haven’t written any blog updates is lack of time. Quite a number of the posts took many hours to write. It’s hard to find the time to sit down and write for three hours on why these days I’m tending to use Yojimbo more than Evernote.
Another reason is that I found Twitter often sated my appetite for discussion on topics I might have blogged about. But there can be a limit on how much you can express in 140 characters.
I see Tumblr as being somewhere between Twitter and WordPress. I can post on whatever takes my fancy, as I already do on Twitter, but with the ability to flesh things out. And I won’t feel obliged to write long detailed posts like I have done in the past.
