It Was Over a Year Ago

I woke up this morning thinking knowing that it had been a very long time since I had posted to my blog.  I thought it might be exactly a year.  I was disappointed to learn that it has, in fact, been a year and 11 days.  You can see that just below this post.

That’s depressing.  I do like writing.  Why the gap?  Many reasons, I guess.  

The regular job takes up a lot of time.  It’s difficult to come up with topics.  The posts take too much time.  Twitter and message boards have replaced the blog for communications. (However, I still don’t use Facebook.)

I’m getting myself organized a bit more these days.  My desk at work is free of papers.  My personal email only has four in the Inbox.  I’m deleting myself from marketing emails and, as soon as I finish this, I’m going to clean off my desk at home.

I’m hopeful that getting organized means more time for writing.  Shorter posts, definitely.  A more consistent theme, perhaps.  I don’t know.  My interests haven’t shifted – travel, hockey, organizational behavior, family.

I can only hope that I won’t be writing you again on August 19, 2013 with the same thoughts.
