Top ten things I’m blogging about today…
Maybe a lot of people are going to link to this, but I read it earlier today and I thought it shouldn’t be missed by bloggers of all kinds:
10 tips on writing the living web (from A list Apart)
1. Write for a reason
2. Write often
3. Write tight
4. Make good friends
5. Find good enemies
etc.
Like a lot of bloggers (hell, like people in general) I don’t like to be told what to do, and I don’t think there should be rules for blogging, but I appreciate a good list of « top 10 things » and this one comes up with simple yet often forgotten advice.
On a (not so) completely different subject, I also found this list inspiring when I read it this morning while having breakfast, but maybe it was the sugar in my Raisin Bran…
The seven habits of highly motivated people
True, the force to keep putting it off is mighty and we humans are puny, but nature is on automatic pilot and we are clever manipulators. […] The built-in resistance we all share makes us trash our best intentions. It’s not just you – that’s how many of us operate. But incorporating your dream into your routine takes less time than you think, and minute for minute it offers more rewards than most other activities. It just seems daunting when you assume you have to make a drastic life change.
No drastic life change? It means I get to keep my Raisin Bran?
