I read the other day that there are over 75 million blogs on WordPress alone. Read that again…SEVENTY FIVE MILLION blogs just on WordPress!
Each and every one of us is bombarded by content on the interwebs. Who has time to read it all? I know I don’t. My time, energy, and attention are valuable resources. I read often as a way of continuing to learn. However, I also guard who and what gets my limited resources of time and attention.
In creating a new blog, I had to ask my self why add more? What is different about THIS blog? Why might it be worth your attention? Your attention is a valuable resource.
I said that, YOUR ATTENTION IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE.
That is one of the concepts that I teach. In order to truly be productive (as an individual or collaboratively) you need to recognize the value of your time and attention and focus on what is important to you. In a world with too much crappy content, you can’t consume everything out there.
So here is what I think is different about my blog.
Topics I will be writing about:
- Connections and relationships
- Community building
- Individual Productivity
- Collaborative Productivity (High performing teams is often the buzz word here)
- Organizational culture
- Getting the results you want
Really it comes down to communities, collaboration, and getting results.
Are you getting the results you want in life? Learning is not about gathering more and more information. I personally like Peter Senge’s definition of learning. He writes that learning “is expanding the ability to produce the results we truly want in life”. This blog is about expanding the ability to produce the results you truly want for yourself, your organization, and your community.
I focus my writing around the idea of collaborative productivity and bringing out the best in each other. How can we be more productive as individual? How can we be more productive as a group collaboratively?
My promise to my readers is that I am always learning, growing,and exploring and will continue to share with you what I learn. Join me in the journey.
