Allen’s Thoughts is almost a decade old.

I have been writing blog posts for well over a decade, first at Making Things Out of Nothing, and then here at allensthoughts.com on WordPress.

I moved to WordPress because I wanted more control. WordPress is open source. I can host it myself. I can DIY. I am not at the mercy of any one platform.

But, like everything, there is a tradeoff.

Running my own WordPress site means I also need to invest time and effort to keep it modern, secure, and working well. And when time is my most expensive commodity, I have to admit that Allen’s Thoughts could have been better maintained.

More importantly, I want to spend my time sharing my thoughts, not maintaining the plumbing.

So, over time, I am moving to Substack: recoveringceo.substack.com.

I will continue to post here for the time being. But if you are a subscriber here, please take 30 seconds to subscribe to my Substack as well.

Thank you for being part of my journey. I look forward to engaging with you soon on A Recovering CEO’s Thoughts by Allen Lau over on Substack.
