I think it gives you a well rounded personality and also at the same time gives you contacts like you said. I think the point is that blogging can be seen as a full time profession too...

I'm going through the blog now, there are some interesting things on here. I just recently moved to London and i'm trying for a graphic design/illustration job after having neglected that side of the art-spectrum for a bit (doing 3d game-content), so it's nice to be able to follow someone who's involved with it.

I've had thousands of pounds worth of business through my site and what does it cost? £50 a year? That's good ROI! (Sorry about the funny money £1=2$US) Also, you make contact with like-minded people in your business from all over the world! I think if you have a blog it's probably good to post at least once a week. Talking about time management – that's probably 15 minutes work a week. I'm glad you liked the Stephen Covey post. I was impressed with that book as well. Thanks for the great quote. Sorry I use Mac Mail :( Anyway, hope you find something here that's some help to you, Chaim. All the best! Hi Chaim,

Ron is blogger good? And is there somting to know while doing it to get the best ROI on time invsment? I like your post on productivity and the 4 quadretns, I read the book by Stephen Couvey years ago and think Stephen was pretty inventive when he wrote about it. Today all the self help books and time managemnt books are full with purpuse and efficiant vs. effective wich is the 2nd quadrant. one strong quote that is good to remember is "If you'll keep on doing what you always did, you'll keep on getting what you've allwys got." If you use Outlook I would highly recoment a book with the title "Take back your life" Using Microsoft Outlook to get organized and say organized - by Sally McGhee I agree with all you say about blogining, I have to start writing on a regular bassis.

A lot of people visit my site but don't leave comments. Come to think of it, according to my stats, I maybe have 1 comment per 200 visitors! But, I'm delighted to see people coming and – I hope – finding something useful. I get a few requests for work through the site so it's OK. I do have one bit of advice. Have you ever tried to link to one of your posts on http://www.reddit.com or http://www.digg.com ? It'll only take you 5 minutes and you may get some more traffic from it. I promise to leave a comment on your site :) Hello webee,
