Life gets in the way
The last couple of days, that's pretty much been the theme of my days. Starting with my kids' track meet Thursday, car repairs Friday and a whole lot of driving kids to and from school, work, activities and other things—and, oh yes, spring yardwork—the last few days have been considerably less productive workwise than I had hoped.
I have my next newsletter nearly ready to go out tomorrow, but that's been about it for these last three days.
It's all part of life, though. Life is more than just the work we do.
Hey, is it just me, or does everyone see tonight's blog in serious danger of devolving into a whole string of cliches? "Gotta play them one game at a time." "It's not over till it's over." "Life is more than just the work we do." Yecch.
I'm tired. The yardwork today seems to have taken a lot more out of me than I thought it would. And I find myself feeling like I'm just going through the motions tonight on the blog.
So what's going on? A slight dry spell? The first excitement of having the One Stop site up wearing off and the recognition of how much I still need to do in promotion of it? Or is it sitting here after writing my lead article for tomorrow's newsletter and feeling that there should be more to it?
I've got to have the longest newsletter in the business as it is right now, and I feel there should be more to it? C'mon!
The article is a list of seven suggestions for how to get additional one-way, incoming links into your site. As I wrote it, I found myself looking at my list and thinking, "Wait, I should have an entire article just on this suggestion alone. I can't leave them with just saying, 'Do this,' and not give them more detailed information on how to do it, or at least refer them to an article on my site that gives more details."
And add to that the fact that as I went through my article notes, I found myself thinking, "Oh, yeah, I should be doing more of that myself."
I'm getting impatient with myself. But I'll have to settle for doing what I can at the moment and not beat myself up because I don't have two years worth of completed work done already on my one-month old site.
Like I say, I'm tired tonight. But tomorrow's another day! (Sorry, I just had to get one more cliche out of my system before closing.)
