The Whoosh of a Deadline – Blog World Journey #5

I know today will whoosh right by, but stop and smell the procrastination, won’t you?

Whoosing Deadlines - Blog World Journey #5

Expect the Unexpected

As I have gotten older I increasingly am aware of how many things can go wrong at the last minute of a project or upcoming event.  As a result I really do try to get organized and prepared with plenty of time. And even WITH that mindset I am always seeming to be down to the wire in my preparations. 

I am expecting it to be the same with my presentation on procrastination and content creation at Blog World next week (Wed. June 6th). This is drawing #5 of the procrastination part, but it will include a lot more I still need to get together.  I hope I don’t have too many interruptions but if I do I at least feel I have a strong foundation prepared. We shall see!

It’s about Respect

Here is what I am thinking about today to include in my presentation.  The act of being deliberate in your content creation, working away at it as best you can, is showing respect to those you will give your content out to.  It’s no different than arriving late for something and knowing in advance you were going to be late and leaving late anyway.  That, to me, shows disrespect for those awaiting your arrival.  Not preparing your work properly is the same thing, right?

Anyone Who Keeps The Ability – Updated 2017

Day 2 in my week long series on beauty. If you have any great beauty
quotes send them along!

I love coming across explanations that just make perfect sense. This
one does. Being able to see (and appreciate) beauty is a sure sign a
person is curious, enthusiastic and joyful in his or her way of looking
at the world. It means they have the desire to explore because they
know there is a reward. The reward is beauty.

“Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.” – Franz Kafka, 1883 – 1924, Czech writer
