One option I could certainly spend 10,000 hours trying to master is blogging. This isn't something I'm typically interested in but the more I think about it the better it sounds to me. Blogging is a fast-paced hobby on the internet right now. There are so many different blogs about different topics, however almost every topic has multiple blogs that cover it. Therefore, competition is created between these blogs that post the same kinds of information. This is why blogging can be challenging for many, it is time-consuming and difficult. Regardless, I think it would be entertaining and challenging. A (successful) blogger must stay in tuned with so many things happening at once, so they would always be connected to social media and events occuring within the topic that they have chosen to cover on their blog. In other words, they would always be in touch with a topic they enjoy.
Also, as the internet and computers advance, I expect that people will be able to blog things from anywhere, using their cell phone or type of mobile computer. This eliminates the idea of having to spend all of your time indoors on a computer, posting things on your blog. Being able to be outdoors, or wherever you want while being able to blog makes blogging a much more likeable hobby, for me at least. Blogging could definitley be something I spend a lot of time doing.
Blogging is a very good choice to spend your time perfecting. Many people make very comfortable lives off of blogging. Keeping up with the ever-changing blogging environment takes a lot of time, and to stay on top of things, those 10,000 hours can really help you get ahead of the competition.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Chris. Also, I think blogging is a worthwhile pursuit because academically, it's quite likely that blogging will become a more and more integral part of class environments in high school and college.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting way to spend the 10,000 hour theory. As Brian had said not only does it help academically, it can open up certain types of jobs as well. For example, many sports analysts such as Chris Brussard are adapting into the blogging world to leak information around the league to the fans that are interested by the sport.
