I saw a tweet yesterday asking how people with kids manage to get anything done.<\/p>\n
The answer in my case – “with compromise on how I do almost everything and feeling very tired much of the time”.<\/p>\n
This is one of the reasons I do not blog every day. Some days – most days – that is about as much as I can come up with in the insightful and\/or interesting department.<\/p>\n
There is no rule that says that this blogging space needs to be positive and interesting…except…except.. that is how I mainly want it to be. <\/p>\n
I spend a lot of time researching most posts, providing links to follow for further information. About twice a month over the last five years I have looked back to my blog to confirm a factette or find the name of some useful tool that I wanted to use. The CoverItLive sessions that I put here have been very useful to me to follow up something that I did not have time to think about at the time of the event. I want this space to be useful in that way.<\/p>\n
I want this space to be somewhere that I feel OK revisiting and as a record of my thoughts, much more than a record of how I am feeling or what I am doing generally. I definitely don’t want a whole bunch of posts with a light touch and positive spin that do not really reflect where my mind is at the moment – just for the sake of writing every day. <\/p>\n
… And there is the challenge with this #blogjune exercise. I cannot daily write the types of posts that I usually like to write. It takes more time than I have. I feel like I am diluting my usual blogging style and my blog. If I am spending my time feeling tired and like I am pulled in one thousand directions, I don’t really want to write about it here. I already KNOW that this is how it feels for me much of the time. I am sure that most other people do too. Some days though – most days – that’s all I’ve got.<\/p>\n
