"The 15 minute blog" came into being by accident. A few weeks ago, as I was finishing up my reading of a blog post, I was stunned by a challenge issued to each of the readers of that blog: To begin a blog of their own. I was surprised by the challenge and soon forgot about it. However, it kept creeping back into my thoughts so I decided I'd better decide to forget about it forever, do a blog, or something else. I decided to do a blog. Lest ye think that I am far removed from the blogging world, I have had a personal blog since 2008 (6+ years) and have 3 followers. Yes, THREE followers. I also have a family blog that has many more visitors, but even that blog hasn't been updated since 2012. For ease and convenience I have merged my previous blog (H-Opinions) with this blog (My 15 Minute Blog).
Why the title? Because I am somewhat anti-"spending my life online". There are so many other enjoyable pursuits that I don't want to miss out on by posting or reading a bazillion blogs each day. So I intend to do 15 minute blog posts: whatever I can write in 15 minutes on a topic of my choice is what will end up on the page. Beyond that, I do get "sucked in" to writing and reading and many other things so in limiting my time I hope to 1) stay motivated to continue the blog (it's only 15 minutes!) and 2) continue growing in other ways and not become obsessed with my blog. We'll see how I do.
