Notes on productivity
In a previous post (What Should I Do With My Fitness Blog) I wrote a bit about my frustrations and indecisions with said blog. It's still there in perpetual idle acting as a digital business card - a sort of self-owned LinkedIn but so much less noise and clutter. Lately, I've been thinking about pull-starting … Continue reading Does the World Need More Fitness Content?
I don't know why this is somewhat of a big deal to me, but this little blog hit over 200 followers with over 50 posts in a little less than ten months. Why a big deal? Well, let me tell ya. I started this blog as a separate little space for my thoughts and ideas … Continue reading Two Hundred and Fifty Plus and a Thank You
I have a few friends who create content. By content I mean Youtube videos, podcasts, and produce steady streams of social media posts to support those creations.

As my other blog is mainly a portfolio and repository for all things health, fitness, and wellness this was to be reserved for all the "other" of life. Whether it's reflections on work, family, or other important life experiences this was to be a place for … Continue reading Review, Reflect, Revise
Below I'll list three of my absolute favorite sites/blogs that I follow for life lessons, best practices, and elegant writing. Spoiler alert: No social media pages are included in this short list.

I'm a bigger believer in reading well-written, thought-provoking prose versus bite-sized junk food replete with click-bait, sensationalized headlines, and self-affirming, opinionated blabber. … Continue reading 3 of My Absolute Favorite Sites I Follow
Blogs are better than social media. At least for now and/or until things change. I've had a blog for a number of years now. I started here at WordPress.com and then, because of monetization reasons, migrated over to a self-hosted site using WordPress.org. My self-hosted site was/is about health and fitness and is currently in … Continue reading This is Better Than Social Media
