I’ll square with you – this blog exists for mostly selfish reasons. Although frankly, I’m guessing that’s actually why most blogs exist. Selfish in that my reasons for starting ProjectRisk are primarily to make a habit of writing and as a vehicle to organize and record my thoughts on various topics related to my PhD research. I already write a lot, albeit in a very informal and fragmented way. Scrawled notes. Loose paper. Google docs, Evernote. Recently, I’m finding that I need something more substantial to help facilitate meaningful learning and insight. More meaningful, certainly, than the graveyard of yellow sticky notes wallpapering my desk.
