This is a short and somewhat lazy post from me today, so I hope you’ll forgive me.
I wrote a post on the psychology of blogging that I was tempted to post here. On reflection though I reckoned that most of you that read here aren’t bloggers and may be put off by the title. With that in mind I sent it to Darren at ProBlogger and that is where it sits as a guest post in all its glory now.
I’d encourage you to click though here and check it out. Blogging is a great metaphor for life and the tips that I give on being a successful blogger can transfer to pretty much any walk of life.
You may have noticed that I have stopped posting video blogs. When I asked for feedback, it was overwhelmingly in favor of written over video posts. Yes that’s right, BOTH people preferred the written word!
I figured that people that read blogs do so because they like reading and people that spend most of their time on YouTube do so because they like watching videos. Sherlock Holmes would be proud.
What I intend to do is film some video blogs and post them straight to YouTube with a quick mention here. I aim to keep them to less than 5 minutes and make them more educational and to the point.
The first one is on quick and dirty look at a method of goal setting that I designed called SMARTER Goals that combines the best of SMART goals and the well-formed outcomes method used in NLP. Actually saying I designed it may be pushing it a tad, but I did add some bits and refine it, honest ;-)

By the way, I’ve closed the comments on this post because it’s really a load of links. If you feel the urge to speak please feel free to do so at ProBlogger.

It all kicked off at Writer Dad this week! Fascinating debate in the comments after a post on comments!, if that makes any sense whatsoever. Tempers flared but Sean kept everything cool, calm and collected and we had a group hug at the end ;-)
