Slacker Habits

Wow, it's been almost a month since my last post... I'm such a slacker! When I started this blog, I said to myself, "I love to write, I'll be posting all the time!" I can't tell you how many times I've thought about writing in the last month...
I thought about writing about my first few days on the job while stuck in the Atlanta airport for 4 hours on my way back from Dallas.
I thought about writing about my first week working from home.
I thought about writing about the trials of trying to teach my dog not to bark all day long so I could actually have a coherent phone conversation.
I thought about writing about what fun it is to be able to get my hair done on my lunch break or start early and knock off early so I can have extra time at the dog park with the puppies.

But I didn't. Why not? Not really sure. But I've been thinking about that this week, and I've decided that it all boils down to habits. I'm not in the habit of writing my thoughts, I'm just in the habit of thinking them. I've always been more articulate on paper than anywhere else, so I figured writing a blog would be easy for me. Turns out, it's not hard to write the posts, it's just hard to remember to write them. So, that's my new goal. Instead of saying to myself, "I could blog about this," I'm going to actually blog about it. I may have some short and sweet posts at first, and the topics will probably be all over the map. But that's how we grow right? Try some things out and see how they work.

If anyone's out there reading, and you haven't seen a post in a while, feel free to give me a nudge. Check in with me on Twitter or post a comment and ask me what I've been doing with all my thoughts lately!
