When I first considered the idea of a blog, I wondered what I'd write about on a regular basis, but the wondering/pondering/contemplating/deliberating is an untentional stalling tactic. I thought I'd try to amass at least 20 days of topics and links to give myself a head start, people check out a blog because there's new information on a regular basis. I figured that if I had information to share then I better make sure there's an audience to share it with, and if there's no steady flow of thoughts and ideas, then the likelihood of exposure begins to diminish. So I'd make a list of some topics, then I'd start over with a new set of ideas, over and over again I'd go through the process, it got to the point of being almost like the directions on a shampoo bottle, but instead I'd blather, wince and repeat. Finally after talking with Geoff, he said it really doesn't matter, just get started. Period. So I did, i got my first post out and it was easier than I thought, but the ball didn't keep rolling, it stopped. For me this blog is ultimately an exercise in accountability. For as long as I can remember I have always done better if I have to be accountable to someone else, a parent, a boss, a teacher. If I'm only accountable to myself, a lot less tends to get done. I'd like to blame the ADD but I'm a reasonably intelligent adult who in theory is capable of learning from mistakes and excuses are just more stalling tactics. So I thought this blog would be a good way to improve this weakness. I'm making the goal of contributing regularly to this blog, whether its a little or alot, the main thing is to get something out, like they say, "a lot of success in life is just showing up."
Finally a random joke, no promises to quality but it goes with the theme...somewhat
How many ADD kids does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
