Blogging is a primary importance in the view of collecting Knowledge. It can be fully public or totally personal. Jotting down our thoughts is a good and easy way to build a jetty in the ocean of our experiences. It can be reused later and be starting point for further insights. This is the reason Kneaver supports all types of Blogging. Now, most of my contacts are reluctant to spend time writing. They are also shy and I can understand it if you compare to champions of blogging posting 3 times a day. Same if you a some videos of yogis. This is why I take this occasion to give some hints from a layman of both Yoga and Blogging. Yoga and blogging have a quite a lot of similarities for me.

• If you practice regularly it is easier to maintain the pace.
• Whenever you stop, it’s hard to restart.

I wonder if I am the only one to face this difficulty. First these are the reasons I usually stop practicing yoga: Travels, jet-lag, short deadline, illness. Strange, it is about the same reasons that interrupt my flow of posts. Second Yoga and Blogging require some effort and motivation. Taking time off from our hectic life, staying in a quiet place with between 30 to 60 minutes uninterrupted. This sounds difficult at first view. Depending on the location I practice Yoga differently. While in India, in Madurai this is every morning 6:30 am, before any breakfast. I rush to the class and stay for an hour.  it is very soft and ends with a long relaxation. Then a shower and at work. When in Berkeley it is weekly only, 6:00 pm. Yoga is usually much more demanding and atlethic. Relaxation is an occasion to pour in your brain various informations.  When in France it is at home at the end of the morning. A video will be my guideline (I use passion of Yoga II mostly). So rule 1 is to practice at a suitable time in the agenda and stick to it. Suitable obviously depends on you, your environment. Whenever I stop I am apprenhensive to start again. It takes one or two session before my apprension stops. Yoga is quite easy and after just a session you feel the benefits and stiffness disappear. Same for blogging. What shall I write ? who will read ? does it matter ? Not really. The first goal is to start writing something wil come out of it. For me value of blogs is in the long term. Each post is obviously incomplete, the sequence is gives the general view. Blogs allow each of us to express views and iterate on them. Web and linking make it possible to find our opinions even after years. When after interrupting Yoga or blogging I start over again it is a large satisfaction. Continuity is the key. For the writer but also for readers. I consider that a weekly post is very honorable. It shouldn’t be more than a month. For this I get into the habit of writing down short notes (with Kneaver Tray) on potential subjects and to pick from this store when I am ready to write. The longer the stop, the harder it is to start again. Alas ! no trick here. Long term motivation for Yoga is to maintain health and vitality. Similarly a long term motivation in Knowledge Management is that it is stimulating to expose our experiences and someone will be able to make profit from it.
