Briefly, on the value of Recaps
Looking back at your own writing is hard. It made me take a day’s break (that and lack of sleep) and wonder about whether life (on Tech IT Easy) was worth continuing. It made me question my ability to maintain this blog. Etc. etc. Recaps = hard. You get the idea.
But the other thing I noticed with June’s Recap (and noticed before on my recaps for S+FnR, but forgot), is that it enables you to draw a thread between your thoughts. Blogging every day means that, often, you don’t have the time to reflect much on what you wrote about before. But subconsciously you do, of course, and I like how I was able to relate different topics to each other. The same applies, incidentally, to living too hard…
The opposite of blogging too much is blogging too little, of course. That’s when you start thinking too much and don’t realise that people will have forgotten your one (imagined) bad post by the time you post the next one, and the next, and the next… So, dormant bloggers, get blogging!
That’s it really. Too short and introspective to post on TIE?

OK, OK… I’m writing a post already…. =)
Anyway, I’d think it’d be useful if recaps also summarized (possible) insights in (possible) comments.
That’s an excellent point! I’ll integrate it into my next recap.
