While talking meetings have much merit — when planned well they can be efficient and offer a level of comfort in speaking in person — they can also be subject to a host of problems: one person dominating, others checking out and multitasking, side conversations, straying off course, and pressures to conform to the boss’s ideas.
one person dominating --› this is probably one of the reasons why meetings are so counterproductive

We’ve got lots of tools to help us go from zero to a finished project — Basecamp, Trello, OmniFocus, ticketing systems, spreadsheets, Gantt charts… we’re drowning in project management apps.
I suffer from indecision in the face of this plethora of tools!

I think people are falling in love with the technology and not with the method.
Sometimes that happens to me. I'm thrilled by the tool and less by the things I can make with it.

But just as often, as I grasp about, I’ll realize I had never really understood the idea in question
How often do we discuss the ideas with someone else?

I feel as if the author and I are on the same wavelength mentally, that we have a lot in common with each other, and that we could have an interesting conversation, or even a friendship,
I think we should take into account that creation and author can be two separate things

you’re helping Google organize the web
And you are feeding Surveillance Capitalism

Google presents itself to independent sellers as cheaper and less restrictive. But it is not clear whether it can change people’s habits of going straight to Amazon.
One monopolist trying to compete with another monopolist. monopolist vs monopolist = surveillance capitalism.

The Post Kinds plugin, essentially an extended version of WordPress’s core Post Formats functionality, allows one to make a variety of types of posts on one’s website that mirrors the functionality provided in a huge variety of social media platforms. This is useful if you’re owning all of your own data and syndicating it out to social silos, but it’s also great for providing others better user interface for reading and consuming what you’re posting.
The advantage of using Post Kins in Wordpress

Perhaps you have already declared a major.
Volto à problemática dos interesses. Serei capaz de definir um "major topic"?

maybe writing will only be one small means toward a different pur-pose.
A escrita num blog pode ter como objetivo apenas a sistematização do pensamento, i.e., funcionar como uma forma de estimular o pensamento criativo perante um determinado tema e, assim sendo, escrever num blog afigura-se como uma atividade instrumental.

it is essential that you discover a subject for your blog that truly engages you
O que parece uma missão impossível quando os teus interesses são extremamente variados e não te consegues focar num universo muito restrito.

it takes some 10,000 hours of dedication to a craft or profession to become an “expert.”*
Um dos maiores entraves para que seja alcançado um nível de especialidade num determinado campo de conhecimento é a profusão de informação que hoje é consumida, mormente a que é veiculada pelos novos media (online content). Este facto faz com que pessoas com grande curiosidade ou com interesses variados se dispersem por vários temas.

Who is my audience?
Será esta questão despicienda quando estamos perante um blog que é criado com a intenção do destinatário ser o próprio autor? Como se a um músico se perguntasse "quando fazes música, a quem se dirige?" e a resposta fosse "faço música para mim mesmo". Haverá graus de exigência diferentes nos métodos de escrita, de acordo com o(s) destinatário(s). Se escrevo num blog para mim mesmo, porque estou a tornar pública essa escrita?

Blog-ging applications make adding content to the web fairly easy, which is one reason why there are so many blogs.
A facilidade com que se publica é um fator determinante para a adoção de determinada tecnologia ou plataforma. Veja-se, a propósito, o sucesso das redes sociais (FB, Twitter, etc.)

blogging is one good way to develop as a writer
Esta afirmação pressupõe que o que se pretende dominar seja a escrita e não o tema específico que se está a tratar. Isto levanta uma questão: podemos ser especialistas em escrita sem que sejamos especialistas na matéria que estamos a tratar?
