Starting a blog is like starting a new years resolution for me. I always just start them. I've rarely can successfully achieve a consistent blogging habit, they all just seem to fade out. I've discovered it requires the same determination as one would require to finish any task. You have to not let down on your ground rules. If you start posting everyday, you Must post everyday.. If it's once a week then you can never let that slip into once every other week. That has been my problem.. I justify and put it off till next week, but there in lies the problem. So how can I help you fellow blog slackers?
Here are my tips for getting better at blogging:
1. Use the right Blog site: Whether its Tumblr, Blogger, or Wordpress - find one with the best interface that suits the way you want to Blog.
2. Buy a Domain Name: If you actually purchase a domain name you will be 10x more likely to focus on your blog. Its the same logic behind buying a car and receiving a car from your parents. The latter is always taken less care of and brutally abused because you never had to invest in it.
3. Be Blog minded: Look for things throughout the day to blog about. Take pictures and put yourself in situations that are interesting. If you live a boring life, your blog will be boring, and you will be bored of blogging.
4.Get a Blog App: This was a big one for me. Once you have an App on your phone then you never have a reason to not blog. You are always by your phone and you can always write at least something.
5. Be consistent: Even if its just a few sentences - make a pattern of how much you want to blog and stick to it.
In the mean time...
I really am struggling to figure out what to do for Christmas. It's one of those broken years where everyone is scattered around the country and ill basically gave to choose where I want to go. But making it more difficult is my job. See last Christmas I took a week off and went he for Christmas and ended up staying a few extra days. This got me in a lot of trouble and basically I can never do that again. So I'll have essentially 2 days for Christmas. Is it even worth it? I mean I love my family.. But it's an awful lot of trouble for just a few days of face time. My other option would be to quit my job at the end of the year and take two weeks off and have a wonderful Christmas... But then not have a job and have to figure something out next year so that I can still pay rent.
Oh the struggles I have. Talk about white people problems.
Also I hate the snow. I had to scrape off my windshield this morning and that was super lame.
That's all for now.
