Do You Want To Know A Secret? Well Then, You're In Luck

I am about to admit a secret about myself. Something that is, well, not embarrassing, not really, so sorry if you got excited about my revealing personal dirt. The sad truth is my dirt isn’t all that dirty. No, this is more a personal quirk, one that makes me very angry and frustrated with myself because it affects my writing. Here goes, I’m not good at managing my time. See what I mean about my lack of juicy secret. Still, this is one of those things that I need to master. I’m only working part-time, and that means that someone else organizes my time for me, on average, a measly fourteen hours out of any give week. The rest of the time, I’m on my own. It’s not like I don’t have goals and daily tasks. I do, but having them doesn’t mean I’m any good at getting them done.

So, what is this rant all about? Well, it’s about this, my blog. I have tons of stuff going on, stuff I want to share, but I find it very difficult fitting in the time to write about them onto the list of stuff I need to get done. What drives me even crazier is that I like blogging and, well, I want to do it more often and so I need to get better at this making my own schedule stuff. To that end, I’m going to make a public declaration. I read that making your intensions public increases your odds of following through and completing them. I am going to post four times a week for six weeks. I have decided that six weeks is a reasonable time frame. They say that is the amount of time it takes to develop a new habit. I’ve read stuff that says that’s bullshit, but it is a manageable time period. Six weeks is stable. You can wrap your head around it far better than you can, say, six months. So for six weeks you’ll get regular posts from me. That means twenty-four posts, another number that you can wrap your head around. I’ll put which one at the top so you can see that I’m keeping my word.

Here we go. This is 1 of 24.
