Getting Back to Writing on Quora: A Reflection
Written on
Chapter 1: A Day of Reflection
On February 27, 2024, the weather outside was mild, yet my workday had been a mix of productivity and distraction.
As I returned to my room around 7:23 PM, I felt a slight hunger and eagerly anticipated dinner. Dinner at my home is served promptly from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM, and I must say, the staff here are impressively punctual. I intended to change my clothes and head to dinner by 7:45 PM, but to my astonishment, the next time I glanced at the clock, it was already 8:57 PM. That’s when I realized I had allowed myself to become so engrossed that I needed to hurry for my meal.
Dinner consisted of warm roti accompanied by dal, rice, rasam, and a couple of papads. I made an effort to resist adding sugar to my roti, and I succeeded in enjoying it naturally.
While I relaxed and checked my personal emails, I noticed a notification from Quora that piqued my interest—it had been months since I last engaged with the platform. I quickly located the app on my phone and opened it. To my surprise, I was greeted with impressive statistics: "WOW! 1M+ views!!"
This revelation sparked a thought: Should I consider returning to writing on Quora? It had been a considerable amount of time since my last post, and while the platform has evolved, I fondly remembered the days when I dedicated a significant portion of my online time to reading and writing there.
I decided to commit to writing every Sunday on Quora, starting in areas that interest me like Financial Markets and Learning New Vocabulary. I’ve found Medium to be more fulfilling in terms of productivity, but the nostalgia of Quora is hard to ignore.
Here’s to striving for consistency, if nothing else! :)
Section 1.1: Discovering New Opportunities
As I pondered my potential return to Quora, I considered the various opportunities available.
In the video titled "Make $75 Per Day From Free Survey Apps! (3 Free Apps That Pay)," the host discusses practical methods for generating income through survey applications. This aligns with my interest in financial topics, perhaps providing inspiration for future writing.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Value of Engagement
Engaging with a platform like Quora can bring numerous benefits, including expanding one’s knowledge and enhancing writing skills.
Section 1.2: The Challenge of Narcissism
Another consideration for my writing is how to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, particularly with narcissists.
In the insightful video "Dr. Ramani: The Best Way to Deal with Narcissists Without Arguing," the speaker provides valuable strategies for managing interactions, which could serve as a beneficial topic for exploration on Quora.
Chapter 2: Embracing Consistency
As I embark on this journey of rekindling my writing habit, I aim to embrace consistency and reflect on my experiences, both past and present.
By committing to regular writing, I hope to not only improve my skills but also reconnect with a community that has shaped my understanding of various topics.
