Completely agree that writing will boost ones career. I've experienced this first hand with my current job. I was contacted on LinkedIn by a recruiter because I had been recommended by a friend. I replied and went to an interview. During the interview I was told that they had seen my blog and had thought that someone who cares to publish stuff with the world is worth having on the team.
I've also been contacted by other people offering me to write for their publications. So I totally recommend writing. One never knows how many doors a simple blog post might open. Every written word is worth it.
As for tracking a number of read articles, I don't usually do it. I've been feeling bad about myself lately because I've been reading a lot but not writing as much. This also made me feel being "behind" in some way. That's why I wrote this post. To say that it's okay if the ratio between reading and writing is 10:1 or 20:1, or more. That actually feels more balanced than always trying to play some catch up game. Hope it makes sense. :)
