I'm reading James Altucher's book Choose Yourself and it has given me so much to think about. As a part of this, I've felt like I need to start a blog. I'm not sure why. Maybe some of it is to get my thoughts and ideas out of my head. But a journal would do that. It's more like I feel like I need to put myself out there. Maybe I'll make some connections. Maybe I just need to share myself and my knowledge. I don't know, but I'm going to go with it and see where it goes. Starting a blog may not be a big deal to most and may be very natural to many. For myself, it's not. I'm not a writer. In fact, I don't really like to write. I'm a numbers gal.
As this idea of a blog kept rattling around in my head, one of my thoughts was that I don't have time to write a blog. I'm already about as busy as I care to be. So I decided that I would limit myself to spending just 10 minutes on each post. I have time for that. Ten minutes isn't a daunting amount of time. Like so many tasks that seem daunting to me, if I set a small amount of time aside for them it helps me get started on them. Whereas, if I look at the whole task, it's too daunting and I never get started. Cleaning the house, for example. That's way too big of a job to want to even get started on. But if I tell myself, I'll clean for 30 minutes, that's manageable. I get started and I can feel like I've accomplished something when I stop after 30 minutes. Or if I'm in a groove I can keep going and then I've exceeded my goal.
So that's my 10 minutes for today! I don't know where this journey is taking me but I feel like I'm on the path to something new.
