Cutting Back

I published my first blog post on May 25th of last year. The combination of being retired and shut in by the pandemic had left me at loose ends, and I was looking for something to do that was both generative and a self-expression. I settled on blogging because it would provide an opportunity to practice writing. I’ve posted something every day since, 229 entries altogether.

Last fall life became a little busier when I was asked to provide personal productivity coaching to an executive at a company I’d done work for before I retired. Now that same company has asked me to coach a second executive, so I’ve become even busier. 

The coaching gives me the kind of creative outlet that blogging had been providing, and has also made it more challenging to keep up with blogging every day. This is all a long way of saying I’ve decided to cut back. I’m not going to stop blogging altogether, but I’m discontinuing my practice of posting something each and every day. Hopefully, that will mean that when I do post, it will be about something I’ve given real thought to. 

Heaven knows there will be a lot to write about in the coming days, weeks and months as we watch the fallout from Trump’s presidency and the assault on the U.S. Capitol, the start of the Biden administration with Democrats in control of both houses of Congress, and the rollout of the coronavirus vaccines.

Watch this space.
