The 30 Day Proactive Test
Hey now |
Day 10
So the most proactive thing I have done in these last ten days would obviously be all the work I have been putting into my blog.
I always meant to. I had this blog for years but was never that serious about it. Mostly, I just used it as a storage device for all of my little projects.
This is pretty much what I went to school for. I have an MA in Communications. So I figured sometime in the not so distant future, if I could just start putting in a little bit of work every day, it might be possible to get a halfway decent blog up and running, but I kept putting it off.
So coming across this 30 Day Proactive Test was fortuitous in several ways. As a writer, I am always looking for new ideas. Being somewhat of a Gonzo journalist, I thought it would be an excellent idea for a story to chronicle my rise to power as I go through The 30 Day Proactive Test as espoused by Stephen R. Covey in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. And, I figured it would also be a good opportunity for growth and self-improvement. Also, this seemed like a good chance to get The Rant up and running again but in a magazine/blog-style format this incarnation. The Rant started out as radio talk show. It went on for five years and was moderately successful and then I had a change in vision and wanted to somehow morph what I was doing on the radio into a more internet-based, magazine/blog-style, online publication.

It has been a very lazy day. I have just been sleeping all day. I think I will smoke some pot, drink some water, listen to Snap Judgement on NPR and try to read at least a page or two of 7 Habits. Then I shall come back and do a bit more writing.

I know I mentioned earlier there was little to no change in my Circle of Influence. However, as I have had time throughout the day to think it over, I am becoming aware of a change.
The change is somewhat ineffable ergo hard to describe at the moment. So I shall not try. However, I am sure I will come up with something, once I have had time to mull it over. |
A Circle of Influence encompasses those concerns that we can do something about. They are concerns that we have some control over
