I compare this, my personal blog, to my first fitness tracker – a Fitbit, since replaced by a Garmin.  An accountability tool that, by functioning well enough, works itself out of a job, upgraded in favor of an improved model.

My Garmin fitness tracker prods me to work my body: walk, run, bike, hike.  With any luck, this personal blog will prod me to work my mind: think, journal, essay, write.  To be replaced by an improved model.
