One of the things I also thought about was that I don't have as much energy for things after I have already internalized them. A good summary of this is at: http://www.lifebeyondcode.com/2009/12/26/why-some-smart-people-are-reluctant-to-share/. I won't commit to writing another blog post on this subject, but it seems interesting. Jon Fuller and I had a small conversation about this on Monday.

It just helps me have something to fall back on when I have a memory failure. When I learn something the hard way that will be useful to me in general, I blog it. When I run across the problem again, I have the blog post to fall back on. But for more specific cases, I have my notebooks that contain all my project specific notes. Since I have a notebook per project, it's easy to hand over when I'm done (for the "please turn over all client materials" scenarios).. I’ve taken to writing a lot more than I have in the past.
