Proposal: Simplify and Rededicate

In noticing that we're all struggling a bit to have something worthwhile to say, or to even get in front of a computer to post, I had a thought. I know I tend to ramble on sometimes - usually about nothing - and it's a habit that should be held back a bit. And also, for this blog idea to really be helpful in the way it was intended, it should be simple and quick enough that we'll do it daily or near-daily.

So here's what I plan to try for a bit. I will limit rambling posts with thoughts and nonsense to one or fewer per week. But daily, I will write a *short* post with specific goals and results - whatever they may be. Explanations, rationalizations, excuses, etc. will not be included. It may be morning with yesterday's results and today's goals. It may be evening with today's results and tomorrow's goals. But it will be short, to the point, and posted.

I'm just thinking simple and with less rambling thought will make it easier to keep up with it. And I honestly find it helpful to post little bits like that, thinking that someone else is reading them, because then I feel a little more "accountable" (not quite the word I want) than if I just tell myself something and then maybe change my mind.

Thoughts? Other barriers to posting I'm not thinking of? I just, you know, hope for this venture to be successful and usefully supportive for all of us.
