Last year I wrote about New Years resolutions. I mentioned how I wanted to blog more (among other things). I completed a number of blog posts at work and I even wrote an eBook for my students, but my website languished.
I mentioned that I wanted write more like like Seth Godin (see the screen shot of Seth Godin’s blog below) and stop writing tomes. This is part of my problem. Â I set out to write 300 words and I can barely wrap it up at 1,500. I simply have to be more disciplined about this.
Seth knows how to write short, meaningful blog posts. His is a good model to follow. So, from this point forward, I will do my best to, in Bill O’Reily’s words, “keep it pithy.”
I will allow myself to write longer expositions not more than every month or two. In the mean time, I will continue to write eBooks (see The Bookshelf in Your Boss’s Brain and What the first-time manager needs to know) and spend my words more economically here. I hope that this also is a benefit to you, the reader.

PS. Only 196 words. Not a bad start!
