Learning by doing

If you see me post less frequently here over the next ten days, there’s a reason for it. I’m trying out a number of things, and the net effect is that I’m rushed off my feet. This quarter, I hope to:

  • Have changed jobs after a decade (done)
  • Move house after a decade (doing)
  • Pack in the nicotine after three decades (done)
  • Pack in the caffeine after four decades (done)
  • Sleep a little more (doing)

So it’s been quite a quarter already, as I wend my way towards 50. And somewhere in between, I was asked if I felt like guesting at Shane Richmond’s blog at the Telegraph, which I started doing yesterday. In the meantime, I’m still working on kicking off my BT internal blog; still figuring out why I need one (there are good reasons); still working on the ethos of the blog (nearly complete). When I’m done with that, I intend to share what I’ve learnt about internal versus external blogs. Comments welcome.
All this is as new to me as it is to most of you. We all learn as we go along, seeing what works, junking what doesn’t. Thanks for your patience.
