R.I.P. Worthless Genius

by Benjamin M. Strozykowski on April 7, 2010

Though last week’s announcement of being finished with my productivity quest was just an April Fools joke, this announcement is quite real.

I will no longer be updating the Worthless Genius blog, instead I will be moving onto a new blog at Stroz.net.

I plan on leaving all of the Worthless Genius posts and content here, and still following through on comments, etc. I will be putting together some kind of new layout to accentuate the most popular posts here, so that newcomers can find some value through all of the settling dust.

Two years is a good run, and I have learned much about writing, productivity, and all of the other topics that I have covered here in the past. I hope that some of my readers will follow me onto my new endeavor, and I look forward to seeing some familiar faces commenting over there.

If you would like to know more information about my motivations behind this switch, head on over to the first post on the Stroz.net Blog, and leave a comment there with your thoughts.

Thank you, reader, for a great 2 year run. Here’s to the future!

The Great Gaming Generation

March 30, 2010

For the people in my age bracket, video games had become ubiquitous during our youth. Our older brothers and sisters may have been the ones who purchased the consoles and games, but we grew up sitting in front of a television, plastic controller in hand.
Though many of my peers have moved past that piece [...]

The Epic Post Enigma

March 29, 2010

Every blogger out there has encountered the idea that content is king (or at least was at some point). Taking this idea to its extreme, we find that it becomes discouraging when the writer comes up with idea after idea, and none of them seem to be remotely epic in nature.
I certainly fall into [...]

Systematically Failing

March 26, 2010

I have learned much about myself through introspective thought. My need to create a system to reign in the chaos around my life–and the subsequent failure of each system tried–has created a kind of numbing toward the inadequacies of all existing systems and their ability to suitably solve many of my problems.
Systems that implement [...]

Systematically Systemizing

March 25, 2010

If there is anything to be admired about modern man’s brain, it is its uncanny ability to create order from chaos.
We see this sort of behavior daily. Traffic lights, filesystems, smartphones, and (even more simply) our written and spoken language. While the evolutionary benefit may have passed its time, the concept of getting [...]

The Road to Personalized Productivity – The Problem

March 24, 2010

I have been through more than my fair share of productivity and organizational systems throughout my school and adult years. Each one promises a new level of understanding and claims to provide an easier way to organize the “stuff” in your life so that you can get to work with minimal hassle.
Though many people [...]

Write an Incentive Post to Kick-start Your Writing Goals

February 4, 2010

Sometimes I need little extra push to get myself pointed in the right direction. There are countless methods out there that proclaim to cure a writer of their creative blocks, or motivate even the most lethargic pencil pusher.
Nostrums! Snake Oil! Autism-causing vaccinations! OK, maybe not that last one.
As a slacker fueled [...]
