Richard Bolles updates his "What Color Is Your Parachute" (WCIYP) each year. All page references are from his 2008 annual.
His "The Flower" (p. 246-7) is a one page snapshot of who are at this instant and is a subset of what we think should be the most important post in your personal blog - your "My LifeWork Portal". Mine is the "46 links" in the right sidebar. Below will be my version of "The Flower" (without the artwork) and uses appropriate links from "My LifeWork Portal".

Read this post from Helen Barrett about the integration of eJournals and ePortfolios into what is now called Electronic Documentation of Learning (eDOL).
LWPS is a platform where you can document (eJournal) your personal learning (ePortfolio) as you do your lifework planning.
My LifeWork Portal is my eDOL.
How do you document your learning?

According to Deepak Chopra, " ... journaling ... (is) one of the most important tools we have to transform our lives." (Source) [More (private for now)]
When I have had rough times, I've dumped my feelings and thoughts into my journal and that has relaxed me and allowed me to gain perspective.
Writing things down - either in my paper journal, or in my personal LWPS blog - brings clarity to the issue at hand and sometimes leads to revealing what I need to do next.
Much of what I post in my blog has been copied from my journal notebook.
Journaling worksThe method you use to keep a journal is up to you. Pick the one that is most comfortable. The important thing is to have somewhere to write down your thoughts, feelings and other items when they occur. Only you will have access to it, however, you will be referring to it when you write your learning summary at the end of the class.
I like a small hardcopy journal because I can keep it with me. I can also use colored pencils or pen and can draw or diagram when appropriate.

As we described in the "What is LifeWork Planning" section of the "About LWPS" post, a very important part of lifework/career planning is your collection of salient information about yourself that you will use to make informed decisions about your future. Some people collect this information on paper like journals or diaries or notebooks, or in portfolios. Others collect it on their stand alone computer. Others do both. Sadly, most do nothing. A few, but growing number, collect this information in personal blogs like LWPS where they can have access - via hyperlinks - to an ever expanding set of tools and a selective network of family, friends, peers and (para) professionals to assist them in this process. There are many different kinds of blogs, but as we will demonstrate in the following table, none have all of LWPS's features, functions and focus combined into one platform.
Wikipedia describes a portfolio as a "... a personal collection of information describing and documenting a person’s achievements and learning. ... ranging from learning logs to extended collections of achievement evidence. ... used for many different purposes such as accreditation of prior experience, job search, continuing professional development, certification of competences."
This LifeWork Planning Services (LWPS) blogging platform is a hybrid electronic or ePortfolio digital archive and presentation platform. We encourage you to use your LWPS personal/professional weblog to store your digital artifacts and develop your ePortfolio by writing about who you are and what is important to you.
