LWPS is a very unique1 blogging platform. It is a place where you can create public, private, and semi-private posts about yourself and your lifework/career planning activities. Those confidential posts to and about yourself are just like entries you would make in your personal diary or journal2.
But, unlike paper diaries/journals, you can edit, revise and develop your posts as your life and work evolve.
That process of creating, reviewing, reflecting upon and revising your posts, focuses your mind and your thinking and engages your in an empowering conversation with yourself (and others, if you wish) that provides a foundation for lifelong lifework/career planning and decision-making. That process - along with using your LWPS blog as the repository for your lifework/career planning posts - is the essence of LWPS.
When you capture your experiences, feelings and thoughts in "black and white" in your posts, you can see what you are thinking, you nail down those thoughts and ideas running around in your head so you can study them and ask yourself "Is this really true for me? Is this me? Is this what I want?".
Scotty Reston of the New York Times once said, "If I can't read what I write, how do I know what I think?"
When you discover your truths, you now have data, information and knowledge about yourself that you can use to plan for your future and to respond to unplanned events.
Writing about yourself is a way to evaluate what you have done, what you are doing and what you need or want to do. That leads to self/personal-development and career development and - if you want - LifeWork development.
There are many other people, websites and processes that implore you to write about yourself. Here are just a few.
If you choose, you can have a restricted lifework/career planning "conversation" (comments and replies to posts) with other LWPS members who might be your friends, a family member, a school counselor, a career counselor, etc.
