Checking In

I just checked my first and only blog post. It’s weird because what I was about to write sounds a lot like the way I speak in there. Well, either way, here I am. I’m checking in. Unfortunately for you, the reader, I don’t think I have anything of value for you in this post. I’m really here just to write this and start the habit. From what I’ve read and heard, any desirable habit starts with simply the act of doing. It don’t have to perform the best version of this habit, I just have to write something. I’ve been struggling with my own personal hand-written journal. I've been on-and-off writing. Sometimes writing and not finishing a full page. I’ve realized first hand that I shouldn’t care how long I write or how good the quality of the contents are. I just need to show up.

Okay, I just went and grabbed something that might be useful for you. I watched this interview last year with James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits. I’m about 3/4 of the way done with his book. So, here’s value. Provided not by me, but James and Matt D’avella:Tiny Changes with Big Results
