In other news...it has been a WHILE since I updated my blog! But interestingly, that is not for lack of writing posts...the posts just haven't been published! Why in the world would I do that, you ask? Well, here's what happened:

The other day, I was struck with a great idea for a blog post: all of the things that have been on my mind suddenly coagulated (woah, weird word) into a brilliant guide/personal reference about staying motivated. Yeah, really original, I know. But this post was going to be different! It was going to have lots of nitty-gritty details and get really cognitive, and be really personal and of course, super awesome!

So I started writing the post. And then I realized I needed to write an outline and some notes so I didn't forget all the ideas I'd had. And then I wrote for quite a while, and somehow, the simple topic of "staying motivated" morphed into the massive subject of "staying motivated, productive and balanced in work and life" And somehow it had developed into several large, distinct sections. Before I knew it, I was starting to feel like I could write a full book. Or at least, more than one little blog post.

So that's what I've decided to do! I will do a series of blog posts about, basically, how to be awesome! :P Or at least, what helps me stay motivated, productive and balanced (mentally & physically), and stuff like that. Look forward to it!
