Recently I’ve been reading quite a bit about blogging by visiting others blogs, reading ‘traditional’ books and watching related videos on youtube and other video sharing sites. I had a solid burst of six full days of reading and learning and doing things only related to blogging and am always amazed at how much can be learned in such a short space of time with focus.
Letting it slip
After my outburst of learning I stopped for about two days just to relax my mind a little but the problem was that I immediately felt as though I was letting myself slip away from blogging. It feels to me as though the time it takes to forget anything I have learned is so much shorter compared to the time it takes to learn and absorb information.
Regularly surrounding myself with the right information
I had written an article called symmetrical sense that I first wrote as part of my university dissertation and when I added it to my blog I started to doubt whether it was relevant atall to my blogging journey. In the article I discuss how exposure to natural symmetrical shapes and patterns govern our sense and perception of beauty. I am now beginning to think that maybe it is the same for my efforts in blogging too. The moment I stop surrounding myself or mentally switch off from anything that is blog related I feel that I get completely out of touch. If you read the article I mentioned you’ll get a better sense of what I mean.
This is probably the way I need to keep on top of things. Has this ever happened to you where you think you’ve learned something but then everything is forgotton in such a short space of time?
