Why does it seem that every year in January my blog comes to mind. I post a few times and then the who blog thing slips to a way back burner in my mind. It might start to simmer as an idea every once in a while, but never when I am in a position to do anything about it so it gets pushed back again and again and again.
Part of that I have discovered is because no matter how good my intentions are about blogger or doing other things I want, I make excuses for why I don't have time. I have found with my work that keeping a physical "journal" of projects and tasks helps me keep on track to get them done and on time (electronic versions do not work for me - don't ask me why). So for 2018 I have started a "goal" notebook for my personal life.
The items I am placing in it are not huge and life changing necessarily, but I have certain goals that I want for each month. These are ranging from reading certain books to completing a craft project. I have included one organization project each month as well. And yes, posting to this blog page is on my list too. (Hoping for two posts per month, maybe more.)
I also have decided that I am changing up the blog a bit too. It will become a bit of a writing journal for me. About a year ago I discovered through an online class a website that has creative prompts for writing. Instead of always talking about what is going on around me, part of my blogging will be choosing a prompt, at random, and writing on it. Will everything I write be good? Most likely not! But the only way to get better at something is to keep doing it and do it often.
Here is to a new year and a new start.
