#4 WRITING A BLOG

Starting a blog is in a similar vain to starting a company (see #3), but not nearly as ambitious - and even less likely to succeed. It is very popular with unemployed people, because it does not even require leaving the couch where an unemployed person spends most of their time. In fact, I thought of this blog while sitting on the couch and started writing it without leaving the couch.

Blogs are common place now, but they still seem to be cutting edge. So if you tell some one “I was working on my blog today” – that sounds like you actually did something! In reality, most blog writing (this one included) is not a productive use of your time and should not impress anyone.
