I’ve been away lo these many months, but I do want to get back to blogging. I’ve still be writing, journaling, and more. The need to put something out there publicly, to drive something to be ‘published’ is strong. I’m trying to decide if I want to commit to writing something here every single day (come on, I must have at least one thought worth sharing every day.. or at least I hope I do) or a few times a week, but perhaps for longer or maybe both. hmm….
I recently read Decisive by the Heath Brothers, they recommend expanding ones options. Try not to get into this OR that. Could it be this AND that? So for this blog, does it matter which thing I commit to doing, as long as I commit to something? So yeah, my goal is three longer (and by longer I mean 500 words, not dissertations) blog posts per week, but at least a quip let’s say 5 times a week. It’s good to have goals. It’s good to stretch..
