Writing is something I love. I always have.
I journaled as a kid, read voraciously, actually enjoyed English, (I know, I probably shouldn’t admit that!) and have always wanted to write a novel. Blogging is a natural extension of that for me.
I get into trouble occasionally because I’m interested in a such a wide variety of topics and subjects, that with a few blogs up and running now, I sometimes find it challenging to blog consistently on each site.
Here are some of the ways I overcome this challenge.
- I subscribe via Google Reader to my favorite blogs within a topic. Interacting and staying current within any given field I’m interested in helps inspire and keep me up-to-date.
- I read, read, read.
- I’m implementing Jeff Vacek’s Go Be Productive program into my life. It has single-handedly made the most difference in my ability to focus and Be Productive! =) (Google him – his program is fantastic!)
- I learn, take classes and update my education. I believe this is critical to keeping both my mind and blog content fresh and relevant.
- Be Curious. This might be the most important of all. When I’m curious about a topic, a perspective different from my own, new information, other opinions, it broadens my perspective and understanding.
Here’s a quote from Oliver Wendall Holmes, “Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” I love this!
