This recent article (by Dr. Lisa Severy) in the National Career Development Association (NCDA)¹ Carer Development Quarterly CDQ describes the value and expansion of Internet-based tools that utilize narratives for career interventions.

LWPS is such a tool in that its members use their personal LWPS blog to create, revise/refine and reflect upon their private, semi-private and public posts that contain information about their lifework/career planning activities and events. My extensive (though not fully developed) "LifeWork Portal" post is an example of a collection of these narratives.

Below is a list of other platforms similar to LWPS.

The following platforms are fee-based. I chose not to register. So I can not evaluate and compare them to LWPS.

There are several ways that you can lower your LWPS storage use.

1. Use offsite storage
2. Consolidate posts that contain similar content.
3. Minimize or eliminate duplicate content in posts.
4. Delete all comments that are no longer useful or relevant. Get in the habit of clicking on "View recent activity" to review/delete your comments.
