Journal #3 Matt Steel
When it comes to my writing, I usually end up spewing about people. How people think, act, whatever. I usually have some trouble writing anything if I’m not in a particular writing groove, my self absorbed mind always seems to drift around someone or something that’s happening to someone and such. From experiences usually related to school, I find that writing can be an extremely useful tool for debates or conflicts. If I’m looking to prove a point about something that holds any amount of importance, it’s extremely helpful to have a pre-written set of points, or something more thorough like an essay. When you’re having an argument or a debate with someone about a topic, people love to talk out of their ass and pull out some false "fact". This will usually go back and forth until someone decides to drop it, resulting in little progress. I don’t know why, but having some concrete facts on paper usually garners a certain amount of respect from the opposite side and results in a little more open-mindedness.
Changing anything usually brings some complications, but as long as the ends outweigh the means, changes are almost always worth being made. Most changes are better described as improvements, and those that aren’t are the ones not worth making.

Matt, you write well enough but it may be time for you to address the issue of your overall productivity.
ReplyDeleteHow satisfied are you with your current effort and performance? Am I right in suspecting that your productivity has declined in recent history? If so, what are some causes? What are the remedies?
You'll find me to be a keen listener on this topic. I was too much like you to possibly be able to preach at you on this subject. I just hope that you don't make the same mistakes I did. We can talk more about this if you are concerned.
