Blog Focus

Posted on by

I’ve realised that most of my posts over the last few months have been me aiming to make some sort of transition with my blog. The focus of this blog is something I still wrangle with. I have grown a lot as a web user and realise that a blog is a platform for me to express my views, offer my opinion and interact with like-minded individuals. What it is not, for me anyway, is an income stream of any major sort. Henceforth Lifestyle Project will continue to transition towards being a blog about Chris’s Lifestyle Project predominantly. I want it to serve as a chronicle of my journey, a think-tank for my latest interests and a resource for those on a similar path.

To that end, I will (probably) start posting about a slightly more diverse range of topics, though I believe they will still be of interest and relevance to my subscribers and readers. I am going to use Lifestyle Project as my personal blog (as I still like to be semi-anonymous), therefore topics to cover include productivity, goal setting and simplicity as normal but also branching in to the internet marketing arena as this is an area I am putting a lot of work in to at the moment. Also, if I see fit, comment on anything else that strikes my fancy. The exception for the moment will be pure travel and music posts (gig and locations specific) which I will cover on my travel blog World Troubadour, which will be resurrected once my journey begins.

I have a lot going on at the moment and will be making some big changes, I hope to post on interesting stuff and as my interests changes so much then so will my content, but for now I think I need to stop worrying about it and get on with it.

So the next post could be about anything, but hopefully not me wondering in text form ‘where my blog is going’ – I’m passed that, for now. I think.

Yes I am procrastinating a little this evening, everyone has to once in a while as you can’t work like a machine all the time. I think I’ll tweak those blog topics, and maybe put up some draft posts about random stuff.

See you on the other side.

World’s Best Lifestyle Design Blogger

Hello from the world’s best lifestyle design blogger. It’s been a long time – I’m writing this from my apartment in Buenos Aires (actually on 25 April 2010, I just published in the past so that it wouldn’t go out in the RSS), where I am practising what I’ve been preaching. This post may see a little strange, but it’s an experiment. Please ignore it for now, as all will become clear from the world’s best lifestyle design blogger (probably not me) very soon. Let’s just say that I’m doing an experiment in search engines, utilizing my much neglected blog. You see I have been dabbling, quite extensively in lifestyle design. I am currently on a sabbatical and I am taking my experience as a blogger and putting it in to practice with other things I have learned. The aim? To make money from the internet of course, as well as to continue being the world’s best lifestyle design blogger.

Stuck in a rut?

A couple of strange things I have noticed recently is that you sometimes realise that time passes and you haven’t really got anywhere. Allow me to explain. The presenter of the UK version of big brother, Davina McCall, was interviewed on a talk show the other night. Big Brother has been a painful fixture on the TV schedules for 11 years and I can remember the first series. It is not something that I waste my time with now, but I realised that it felt like only yesterday when the show started and it is insane to think that over a decade has passed. I think that it is worth taking a look at what you have and haven’t achieved in that time and contrasting where you are now to where you want to be. In another ten years will you have taken the necessary actions to get you to where you want to be or will you be looking back at another decade of your life that has slipped away whilst a poor TV programme has been recommissioned each year?

One to ponder…
