I could never consider myself smart if I didn’t do this

I could never consider myself smart if I didn’t do this.

To be able to write and leave important notes for my Family, in case something bad ever happened, and to not – seriously, how is that possible?

In Hawaii for 12 days, right? Didn’t turn on the TV once.

No time for it.

Barely time to write.

Barely time to exercise.

Did them both to the best of my ability.

What’s our other option?

When we think of the promises we make to others and to ourselves, do we ever consider our list’s length?

We’re probably most successful if it’s a short list. Think about it.

Anyone have a promise to themselves that’s less than five years old?

Which way did he go? For the past week, been thinking about which way I’m gonna go tomorrow – you know, with the blogging.

And for four months, been wondering which way I’m gonna go – you know, with the business.

Are they mutually exclusive?

The thing with going with our gut is… what if we’re wrong.

The other thing, what if we don’t… and we were right that we should have?

Four important blogging lessons I’ve learned since 2008

have changed Twitter profile descriptions many times…but never the Five-A-Day routine

Four important blogging lessons learned since 2008:

Understand the conventional wisdom, then try not to be tempted by it
Bloggers want something to happen with their blog, but have no idea what
The real change comes from inside the person, not on the blog itself
Hard work often yields unexpected dividends

Critics will always speak up. Respond wisely.

Three blogging tactics I don’t do anymore

hayward field — Home of Hayward Field, USA's Track & Field Capitol

Three blogging tactics I don’t do anymore:

no longer use my name
no longer use a long list of tags
no longer use long post titles

Is this measurable? Of course. You may not notice, but I sure have. And that’s the key insight. Are you willing to make changes even if most won’t notice nor care?
