I’ve been postponing writing for a long time. There’s always a reason. My usual reason is that I overthink and over analyse. I also seem to have the attention span of a gnat, every time I think I’ve found something to focus on another interesting idea comes along. So this is my personal journey into blogging and writing.
However my biggest hurdle is identifying my ‘niche’. As I get older and hopefully wiser I’ve learnt a lot along the way however, other than work, I’ve never really specialised in anything. I searched for ideas about what my niche could be.
I started with things that interested me or I had explored and worked on in the past; Personal finance, crypto, sports trading, old school gaming, mental health issues and management, spreadsheets, addiction…
I also looked at work; Business & IT transformation, Organizational change, ERP delivery, finance / P&L Management….
And then there were those things that I have been looking at recently; gym training, my diet as I get older, learning golf, Notion databases for managing my life, AI especially image generation, print on demand….
However I found I couldn’t separate many of the ideas or choose where my focus should be. So, for the time being I will just write about whatever I’m working on and see where that takes me. Hopefully, one day, I will find where I want to focus but for now the important thing for me is to just write.
So you’ll find an array of unconnected information and articles that I’m hoping at least one person will find useful. If that’s the case then I’m happy.
Most importantly, you only get one life, don’t live in the past, live for today.
