I have been keeping this blog on and off for a year now while I've been interim chair of my department. I think one limitation of my approach has been that I've kept my blog to one limited focus on chair related issues. That's useful in terms of blog theme, but it has a major drawback. It's not as interesting to write. Lots of blogs are more free flowing, weaving in all sorts of topics from a person's life. As a motivator for writing, this free topic approach lets the person write about any topic they want. That's great for letting a person keep tackling issues which they find exciting. Chair issues, by contrast, can get a little depressing at times. So I wonder if sometimes I don't get around to making blog entries because I'm weary of dealing with the same chair issues over and over.
