I find that when I’m struggling with decisions, it’s always a great idea to blog. Hitting ‘Publish’ is the difficult part.

Right now, I’m contending with difficult decisions every day.

I was working on a project this morning when I came across a massive blocker. I could try to force myself to sit there and think about it directly, but that has never worked. I fell back on a time honored tradition, “if you don’t know what to do or have nothing to do, start wiping down counters”. I decided it was high time I dove into cleaning up my Google Drive. After all, the project I was working on involved storing knowledge away.

This post is about some of the practices that help in revisiting old documents, sheets, and presentations.

Several months ago my wife and I implemented a weekly shared schedule (Pictured below). This was part of a larger goal to become more inter-dependent as a couple. We’ve found that establishing the process of the board has been the most useful tool towards that goal.

Every Sunday we sit down together and walk through our week.

It’s been just over a month since my wedding day and just one month since I had a life altering experience on my honeymoon. Our trip, aptly named ‘Tour de Food’, was a culinary enterprise at the best foodie spots Seattle had to offer. This post is about the second contrasting experience that changed how I see human relationships. This is about our night at The Herb Farm (http://www.theherbfarm.com/). You can read part one here.

3 years ago I had no idea I was standing at a life altering decision. Either I started full-time as a support rep for a very large video game producer

I want to spend some time encapsulating my thoughts 10 days before my wedding day. Right now there are a ton of feelings, both good and bad, that I wanted to express. The world is a stressful place, but there is plenty of good I’m seeing as well.

I have a terrible habit when it comes to gaming. I genuinely think I’m a good at playing games. This is just not true.

Time after time I find myself playing some video game that requires skill or strategy to progress through to the finish. Quite often I find myself losing a round, a turn, or missing some experience points based on the game mechanics. Struggling to overcome the situation I become frustrated. I become frustrated enough to quit, uninstall, and walk away.

The essential infrastructure of the internet has hit a critical juncture via the World Wide Web. The ability to create a web presence is easier than ever with a growing focus at building more faster. In the matter of an afternoon, you can create a blog, social media accounts, and begin posting on anything. Within a couple of days, you can set automations to share, like, retweet, post, email, and syndicate everything you write.

I’ve made it a habit to research new topics constantly. My knowledge is my value. I can’t code (read html and CSS just fine). I’m not in an IT/Support role. I’m not an editor or really a writer (even with Teaching of Writing cert.). No, I’m somewhere lacking in all of these areas, but I excel at finding out more information and capturing it. Why?

Because no one likes a PM that states, “Yeah, the devs are doing a thingy to another do-hicky while the designer is doodling. Can you do that thing, you know, where you setup the stuff to make the site work better? That would be great thanks”.
