After a long hiatus from writing this blog due to laziness, I am finally trying to write a blog again.
This itch has long been with me since I stop writing in this blog. I can write traditionally on pen and paper but I am not too keen on typing my work again on the computer. After the work that I do everyday(which involves sitting in a comfy chair and staring at the monitor for 8 hours, more or less), I am less inclined to sit down and do another session with the computer.
During the long hiatus, I was progressively getting lazy. With no new stimulation available( the tasks at the office usually involve things that I have done before ), I felt that my mind rotting slowly. Not content with this state of affairs,I browsed a lot of productivity and organizational websites in order to combat this stupor. During this stint, I have observed and read what people do to succeed in their field of interest. I devoured the ideas and information that were readily available. After studying, filtering and analyzing the data, I found some gems of thought that were would make me more efficient and are easily applicable to my work ethic. I finally resolved to put this ideas to use to make my life more productive. The next new paragraphs would be my attempt to state and explain these ideas.
One thought I have learned is that you will never be master of any skill if you don't start now and keep delaying doing things. This is not a novel idea. It is, however, an often forgotten one. That is one of the reasons why I have returned to writing a blog. If I don't start now and get into a disciplined mindset, I will probably never will return to writing blogs. I also have to swallow my ego and be content to write blogs no matter how badly it turns out. "If there is anything worth doing, it is worth doing badly" said G.K. Chesterton. Eventually, I would improve and
Another thing I learned( courtesy of nullpointer.ph) during the long vacation is that blogging is an exercise in writing. "Duh!", you might say. I must apologize to the audience if this seems common sense but I implore you to be patient to this absent minded person who routinely forgets simple truths such as the aforementioned phrase at the beginning of the paragraph. I have to be constantly reminded that indeed, practice makes perfect. And since one of my hobbies is to be storytelling(more on that in another blog post), it would be hitting two birds with one stone, or should say two hobbies with one exercise.
Well, I think for a post about a renewal of this blog to be this long( or short, depending on your point of view), I think that its time to wrap this post. In the next posts, I will be talking about my new found hobbies( and old ones also) and the things that happened during the hiatus.
Have a good day! :D
