Folks, I have to do this before moving on with another topic of discussion.

So, I'm interrupting today's regular "Lessons Learned" … Continue reading Back to Natural Basics (in Content Creation): Focus on the Right Stuff (cont.)
If I were to define "the right stuff", I'd have to explain it as the "stuff" you're good at, you enjoy doing, and that's most important.

Lesson #4: Creating rewards systems for reading and writing is a value-added proposition. Let's face it. We, adults, need incentives from time to time; and we especially need some external motivation when it comes to completing challenging or unpleasant tasks.

I'd characterize that structure as a firm foundation with a framework that could be adjusted to meet my needs as the … Continue reading Goal Set With Me: A Structured Approach to Goal Setting
Lesson #3: Distractions will come from within and without. Mark my words on what I just stated, because it's oh-so true.
