reading

Okay, so there is a theme here. But one works in conjunction with the other, and helps me stay on track. I've committed to writing every week with Project 52.  It's something that I've wanted to do for a long time, but now I have the accountability tools in place to help urge me in the right (write?) direction.

I'll be writing a lot about what I read, as I mentioned in my previous post.  Plus, if I'm keeping to my reading commitment, then it gives me something to write about each week if I don't come up with something better! I'm back in game now, so keep your ears tuned in - I'll be writing my review of Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? by Seth Godin soon.

There will be news about what projects I'm working on, what I'm learning in social media, and other cool stuff. Stay tuned!    Read more »

This year, it's my goal to read a book a week.  Long ago I learned that constantly adding to your value as a person through a commitment to life-long learning makes you not only more valuable in the marketplace, but also more valuable to your family, friends, and on your job.  There are a lot of things that war for your time, but few can be as rewarding as turning off the television, and digging in to a good book. 

So far, I'm behind - I'm not making good progress.  But there are legitimate reasons for that, and I plan to redouble my efforts and get back on track. I've finished a couple, and most recently I've picked up a couple that are going to take far longer than a week to read.  But that leads me to my next thought - what to read?  The most recent books I've ordered from Amazon are both very dense, heavy material that will take some time to work through. So with that, I'm planning on reading these at the same time that I'm reading something not quite so rich. 

So my bookshelf will continue to expand with a variety new titles, but I will also add a page here to chroincle my goal with my reading list and reviews.     Read more »
