TL;DR

Vlogging is a practical, more consistent way of gathering your thoughts to help decide your next best move.

Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help?

I’m speaking to the perfectionist version of myself, who needed to find the right moment, right lighting, and right conditions to vlog.

My Practical Experience

I’ve done both a vlog and blogging, and I can say right now that blogging has a greater net positive contribution on my ability to speak and think clearly.

I’m not saying that blogging is “better” than vlogging; rather my experience has revealed when blogging tends to have a great positive contribution compared to vlogging.

Here are my personal pros and cons with vlogging

  • pros
    • More visual (more context) around my situation
    • There’s something to visually show, which provides more appealing evidence for people to watch
  • cons
    • I’m too shy to vlog in the presence of other people (I don’t want people to pay attention to me, nor draw attention to myself)
    • Especially if I live at home, I don’t want my family to treat me different as I develop new modes of thinking.

Now here are my personal pros and cons with blogging

  • pros
    • FRICTIONLESS: I can start writing anywhere, at anytime, when inspiration strikes, as long as I have my laptop and/or internet connection. I don’t need perfect audio, I don’t need private space to talk.
    • I can concretely organize my thoughts and experiences, and visually see how each of my posts/ideas/experiences/thoughts all connect and lead me to more accurate thought
    • Writing my thoughts translates to better vocal communication
  • cons
    • As of now (but this may change), people cannot connect with me on the basis of my written words because they do not have a face to connect with
    • Mass audience prefers visual media over written media

Thanks for the advice, now how can I practically put this to use in a simple way for daily execution?

Start blogging. About anything and everything. It will change your life.
