Getting back on track often requires you to put in the work to make up for the fact that you've fallen behind.

Reasons to leave an online membership
This blog post is actually based on an online membership I joined earlier this year but recently cancelled my subscription for. Prior to joining I was quite excited and I thought I would really enjoy the membership. It turned out that I thought the membership was pretty good and definetly worth the cost. However, it … Continue reading Reasons to leave an online membership
Optional commitment
In a recent conversation, I spoke about this blog and how I share something everyday. I explained that I don't allow 'feeling like I have nothing good to write' to hold me back from posting. For many people, the idea of making a commitment to do something that you don't have to do every single … Continue reading Optional commitment
Showing up when you don’t feel like it

Commitment to the writing practise
My favourite thing about this blog is that I'm driven by my commitment to writing more than anything else. If I write something that gets 1 view, I'm just glad that I committed to writing something another day. If I write something that gets 102 views, I'm glad that a bigger number of people got … Continue reading Commitment to the writing practise
Out of office
It's getting to that time of year when the Out of office goes on with an automatic reply that goes something like: ' Hi, I am currently on leave until 4th January and will respond upon my return. If urgent please contact name@company.com in my absence.' However, for daily blogging there is no break or … Continue reading Out of office
Hold yourself to it
When you tell yourself that you will do something, it's quite easy to just not commit. Afterall, there is nobody else that knows and nobody to hold you to it. On the other hand if you share your aims or goals with others, you have to be willing to accept being called out of if … Continue reading Hold yourself to it
