I’ve started to realize the therapeutic benefits of publicly writing.

• It forces you to be clearer with your thoughts, even if no one is reading them.
• Ideas become easy to share if you need to. For example, a technical problem you solved, and want to share on communities like Stack Exchange, etc.
• If the content is good, it can help boost your public awareness. Not necessarily in a selfish way, but in a manner to help others understand who you are, how you communicate, are and how you think.
