My six words
beautiful day filled with wonderful surprises

6WS

I was looking through my NetNewsWire collection of blogs and came accross this concept on C Beth’s blog. Six word Saturday.  Described more fully here, its basically to describe your life in that moment or a thing in your life in a phrase containing 6 words. During this disciplined blogging exercise I thought I’d try [...]

Blogging with Discipline

I like this idea.

I can relate to what Beth talks about. I have tended to be one of these writers;
There are times when my mind is filled with more blog posts than there are days in the week, when everything in my life can be easily put into a witty and/or meaningful bit of writing.

GTD Times have some great advice as to how to save oneself from incidental reading overload especially  for knowledge workers. I wish I knew this sooner.

a big blue line going up

It started with early morning garbage collection this time without swearing or very loud male gossip. From bed with the laptop on the floor I checked my BlogTracker stats.

starts

A friend I have (Church) has been keeping paper journal since she was 8. She is now 27. I’ve tried and failed, both in paper form and online. I was ok at it and then I think the job resulted in the loss of weekends for long enough for me to lose the drive. There [...]

Blogging as stimulus

This is more why I blog. The interesting dialog that might happen.
When I first joined the ‘web as a teenager and found myself on a pre mIRC chat client whose name i’ve managed to forget I naivily thought that the web would be jammed packed with people craving like I did stimulaqting conversation on topics [...]
