My Journey with Quora: Over 22,000 Followed Questions and the Path to Clarity

Introduction to My Quora Experience

I started using Quora in 2017, and initially, it was an exciting platform for me. However, over time, I noticed a bad habit forming. Every question I encountered either because of its relevance or because I wanted to contribute to someone else's discussion, I would add to my 'Following' list. Whether I intended to read it later or answer it, the habit stuck.

The Question Mountain

The number of questions in my followed list grew rapidly. At the end of January 2023, the count was an approximate 22,800. Before that, it might have even climbed past 23,000! This accumulation was overwhelming, and it was time for a change.

Strategies to Manage My Followed Questions

To reduce the number of questions in my followed list, I started writing answers more quickly. My goal is not just to lose the mountain of questions but to share my own experiences with the world. I've accumulated numerous memories from both good and bad parts of my life, and I see value in expressing them. Furthermore, I am an avid writer, and there are many novel themes I've prepared over the years.

Another important strategy for maintaining a curated feed is muting questions and unfollowing topics that no longer interest me. This can be done by clicking the invisible cross located in the settings for each individual question or topic. It's a small but effective way to keep my Quora experience focused and relevant.

Writing as a Therapy and Expression

Writing about my experiences, particularly those from my past, brings a sense of catharsis and empowerment. It's almost like harnessing the power of storytelling to transform memories into a valuable resource. In the process, I've gained a clearer understanding of myself and my personal growth. Writing also inspires a deeper connection between my thoughts and audience feedback.

The Role of Quora in My Professional and Personal Life

Quora has been a valuable platform for both my professional and personal life. Through discussions and contributions, I've gained insights and interacted with people from diverse backgrounds. This has broadened my horizons and enriched my understanding of various topics. For content creation, Quora serves as a unique space where factual and opinionated content can coexist. Whether it's sharing my own stories or contributing to the broader discourse, Quora offers a platform for authentic expression.

I am excited to see how this journey continues and how I can contribute more meaningfully to the vast library of knowledge and experiences on the platform. I welcome any suggestions from my fellow Quorans to help refine and enhance my approach.
