Somebody told me, “Nothing should be half-assed. Whole-ass a lot of stuff and focus on the few things worthwhile.”

Well, not-so-constant reader, I’ve been much closer to whole-assing this blog.

BUT.

I’m much more comfortable with the pace of play with a toddler in the house.

Most of my writing gets done in the hours after my family heads to bed. My love of YouTube gets in the way of several productive evenings a week, but I still find reasons to write every day.

So instead of bourbon sipping and guitar playing videos, I started pointing my queue towards videos about productivity and writing in between more entertaining fare. I adopted some new tools and apps to help me focus and organize. I started writing in stages with ideas, drafts, revisions, and publications done in batches.

2021 – Shooting for half-assed blogging. Lofty goals, I know.
