Jorg's Brain Log

After upgrading some Word press software on my own domain, I saw it was already 4 months ago that I posted here for the last time. I broke my old habit of regularly writing on my own brain log for no apparent reason. At that same time I started a productivity and logging experiment and after two months of successfully using it, I stopped it on purpose to measure the effect for another two months.

In short the experiment consisted of logging every day and what the major thing was I did in each time frame of 30 minutes. That way I would make sure that I would do something worthwhile at least every 30 minutes of the day. The first two weeks were pretty hard to do, but afterwards it became a habit. After one month I could write down what I did every 30 minutes of that day out of my head in the evening in one sitting. After two months of using it, it was such a productive method, that I wondered if I could stop writing it down and just use it in my head.

Now two months after stopping logging, it’s clear that writing stuff down is golden. Besides the fact I FELT less productive, I also really WAS less productive. I also have no way of measuring my life anymore, which as a real numbers-person is somewhat creepy for me.

Today I’ve started logging again and already I feel the productivity flow back. The power it gives to yourself is so great!

Let’s activate some old habits again. Like blogging on a regular basis as well…

When you do something you have to do it good! That’s why I’m proud to present not 1 but 2 new blogs from me. Who needs sleep anyway.

My first new blog is called iJorg where I can finally talk about my knowledge about the internet. Hence the ‘i’ before Jorg. One of my passions has everything to do with cloud computing and all related topics. Think stuff like: cloud computing, social networking, mobility,  SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, search, innovation, augmented reality, etc, etc.

The next blog is about another passion of mine: Life Skills. In my role as an (IT) manager I’m always searching how I can improve the team. And everything I recommends has first to be tried out on myself ofcourse. In short: how can you improve in what you’re doing. Besides writing a lot about developing business skills, I try to bridge the gap and talk about Life Skills. In these days and age, work is no longer seperated from your life, so trying to make the whole one synergetic experience is one of the main goals of this blog.

Most of my writings, if not all, on the internet are in English, but this time I decided to do the blogs in Dutch. The market where I position myself in is mainly Dutch speaking territory (yes, if I can find customers in the Dutch Antilles, I would go). But of course you can always use google translate to view them (translated links: iJorg / Life Skills). Enjoy reading!

Again, here are my 2 new blogs:

• iJorg
• Life Skills
