Take blogging for example; I am very new to blogging, just under 3 months in, and prior to clicking 'create' and posting my first entry I would spend hours upon hours trawling through the internet looking for advice on starting a blog. Nearly every single website I found told me that in order to make it a success I would have to produce a schedule of when I would write, post, tweet, instagram and I found it so overwhelming.
I found myself feeling like a failure before I'd even created the blog, before I'd even thought of a name for it in fact, because I know that I am not the best at sticking to a schedule and that seemed to be a pre-requisite to the blogging world.
I always thought that it was the best idea to only write when I had something to say not just because it was simply the scheduled day to write and I hate the idea of clicking that little 'publish' button on an entry that I only feel half- assed about.
The same with the gym. If I'm not into it I'll go through the motions of putting my gym gear on and walking over to the
That's not to say that I never get stuff done; I still blog on average 3 times a week, I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, I eat relatively healthy and eat what I fancy on the day, I manage to save some pennies and work hard at the office all without sticking to a pre-planned schedule. It simply means that things happen slightly more sporadically than one might wish.
I understand that others however need a schedule, they need to do things on certain days otherwise they might not get done or be ever so purposefully avoided, so having menu planners, exercise timetables, work day goals etc are essential, but personally I like to have a little more flexibility with my time.
So there you are, just a random little thought that popped into my head there folks. Hope you enjoyed it.
