Sunday, I sat down to write a blog post about the kayak trip Mike and I took from Devon to Edmonton. It was a journey that left me feeling both nervous and exhilarated. I’d never kayaked such a long distance, and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but in the end, I loved every moment of it. Not only did I add 32 km to my total distance, but I also realized something important: the unexpected moments were often the most rewarding. But, as usual, I hit a roadblock—I couldn’t finish the post.
Week after week, I’ve struggled to publish a blog, mainly because my tracking numbers are hard to pin down. I have a tracker, so my numbers are there, but it takes me time to tally them up. Because I haven’t been consistent with this, I often find myself missing the blogging deadline and falling behind. This has led to more frustration than I’d like to admit.
We’re now over seven months into the Year of the Snake, and I can see that it's time to regroup. I need to find a way to improve my tracking, to make it simpler and quicker, so I can stay on top of my blogging. I’ve made a small but important change: I’ve updated my tracker to automatically keep a running total of my numbers. That should make things easier going forward.
But the bigger challenge is consistency. Tracking is one part of the equation, but the bigger piece is showing up regularly in my writing. So, this is me, making my comeback. I’m committed to improving my consistency, and I’m starting with this post. Below, you’ll find my current totals. I’m excited to keep moving forward and share the journey with you.
Life always has a way to get us out of our routine. It is great that you are recognizing that and that you are taking action. Know that you will need to do this again. And again.
