Why I'm taking a break from blogging.

This post is so rough it's written on my tablet. 
I'm going to keep it short. 
Blogging is not what it used to be. 
It used to be a very casual but mildly still professional space but alas post pandemic the world has changed. 
You need to run a blog as a business these days not like one. Even a hobby blog has to follow certain business etiquette to even get a chance at being read. 
Fortunately for my readers, I've no problem with upping my game so that my blog is opporating at the professional standards it should be. 
But that's not everyone. Not everyone has the time to learn all the skills to make their blog a success.
I really wish people would stop saying that anyone can do this because truthfully we don't live in a equal opportunity world. 
I have skills gaps to take my blog to the next level so I'm taking a break from blogging to solve this. 
I'm also really not happy with the direction of this blog. Need to rethink and portentionaly rebrand. 
Hope you understand , I realize I'm going to loose a lot of readers by taking a break but it can't be helped. 

Letters To Life 1 - STARTING THIS SERIES AGAIN.

Hello life, its been a while since I've written to you but you haven't exactly been kind to me these past few years, so what do you expect?

I'm writing now because I have loads to tell you, (and because a letter to you is long overdue)

Currently I'm organizing my world both online and off, and I have to say its so refreshing to have everything slowly coming together. 

Leaving London a few months ago was tough, but I'm settling in nicely back home in Wales, and honestly life although I hate what went down a few months ago, I think it was the right move to come home. 

Not really sure where you're going to take me next, but I have some guidance for you, please consider my plans. 

I'm actually planning my future again, which is amazing, but I know how you like your curve balls. 

Please note, I don't enjoy them, but I do my best to work with what you throw at me. 

Anyway, this was just a quick one, I know I told you I have loads to say, but I think we need to reestablish trust first so that's it for now. 

Take it easy sweetie, (yes I call life sweetie)

Introducing Organize It October!

 


Hello and welcome to a new series! 

    I canceled Shocktober again this year because to be honest, this is better. 

The goal here is very simple.

I've been suffering very badly with fatigue and exhaustion.

(If you know anything about the season I just came through, you will know why)

The goal with this series is simply to organize my life in the month of October. 

Then tell you how it's been going in a diary style series.

At the moment, I'm not taking blogging to seriously, I just need to keep my skills sharp.

A diary style series is a great way to do exactly that. 

I get to provide value to the readers I have while taking a more casual approach to my blog. 

 We need to cover the start point so that we can see how I progress through this series.

As I said, I've been suffering with fatigue. 

This is largely down to the medication I'm currently on,

Again the season I just came from was intense! 

I just went back to university and I'm working on a total of 10 projects at the moment.

I'm looking to stream line to just two or three. 

Also  My social media accounts are a mess. 

I'm definitely cutting down. 

I can't do what I could do in my twenties. 

Got to honor the season I'm in so its okay to say good bye to seven projects, at least for now.

My room is still unpacked. 

I moved home to Wales a few months ago and my belongings are still in boxes. 

I will be unpacked by the end of this month! 

That about covers it. 

Hope you're doing well today friend, thanks so much for reading this post.
