The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
> 1. What newsletters do you subscribe to (technical, language-related, misc.)?
Mostly STC stuff.
> 2. What sites do you bookmark and access regularly?
CNN.com, KSL.com (local news), e-mail, family blogs
> 3. What diversions do you subscribe to or regularly access? How much time a day do you feel is justified in accessing/reading these kinds of things? (A former team leader suggested 5 minutes for every hour.)
Mostly news and e-mail (especially this list). I tend to about 5
minutes every hour. Productivity seems to improve when I can set the
writing aside for a few minutes every hour. Yes, I feel justified.
> 4. And perhaps to put everything in proportion, how many hours a week were you hired to work and do you actually work?
Hired for 40 and it all depends on my workload. Some weeks I can do 35
and be well ahead of the game; other weeks require more hours than I
could ever possibly give.
