While I was in high school, a few of the sports teams fell into the habit of losing. But not just losing outright; we would be in the lead for the first 2/3 of the game, then lose our lead and the game by the time the game was over.
It was really rough on morale.
Well, I've fallen into a sort of Bruin game habit in my life. I'll come up with an idea for a project and get super-excited about it, do a little research, maybe even buy supplies. But then I'll suddenly lose steam and I end up with a stack of Ikea clocks on my desk and balls and balls of yarn just laying around.
Bruin games of life are why I wanted to start blogging. I wanted a reason to finish projects, because the satisfaction of finishing a project was clearly not enough to make it happen. Maybe, optimistic Kath would think, maybe if I have a deadline, a schedule, maybe then I could actually accomplish things.
Now I have a blog with two posts since its creation in September and the same number of pending projects. Oops.
So I'm going to up the ante. I'm going to give myself even more structure. This is going to be a TWO POST PER WEEK BLOG!
But Kath, incredulous audiences protest, how could you possibly make two posts per week when you couldn't even handle one?!
Well, I'll tell you.
I'm going to have Monday posts and Saturday posts. Monday's posts are going to be me creating goals for the month (finish a project per week, get back on the Couch-to-5k bandwagon, etc) and Saturday's posts are going to be finished projects/tutorials/tips'n'tricks/etc.
Can y'all get behind that? I'm so excited about it that I already have Saturday's post written and scheduled to publish! I'm ahead of schedule! Can you believe it?!
Anyway, once I get into the rhythm of this, I'll actually start working on spreading this blog to readers. But I want there to be some content before I do that. So here goes.
See you Saturday!
