Blog Focus

by Chris on July 27, 2009

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.

Stuck in a rut?

July 14, 2009 Lifestyle Projects

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 [...]

Initial Concerns about leaving the 9-5 (and how to see the bigger picture).

March 26, 2009 Goals

There comes a day in the life of many 9-5 workers, when you realise that staying static, doing the same job, traveling the same stretch of tarmac to work every day only to be delegated meaningless tasks and earn money for someone else, is not enough. We are conditioned from an early age, throughout our [...]

5 Ways to Begin your Digital Nomad Lifestyle Today

March 2, 2009 Lifestyle Projects

When I look at the Lifestyle Projects that people share on this blog, there is a common theme of wanting to quit the 9-5. People have many reasons for wanting to do this, and it is not necessarily that people don’t want to work, it’s more about escaping the confines of the 9-5 environment and [...]

No Regrets | Explore. Dream. Discover.

February 25, 2009 Health

For various reasons – I’m keeping the post simple this week. The quote in the image above says all I want to say perfectly – so I thought I’d leave it at that.
Note: Whilst the quote in the above says ‘unknown’ as the source, a quick bit of googling attributes it to Mark Twain.

When was the last time you did nothing?

February 18, 2009 Misc

I recently realised that during my waking hours, I am always doing something. There is never a time when I am doing nothing. By doing nothing, I mean just having quiet time to think, mull things over or just relax and do nothing.
What is nothing?
To be clear, what I define as doing nothing is just [...]

Suriving Information Overload [Part One]

February 12, 2009 Latest

In the interests of limiting information overload, and partly because this post turned in to a bit of a rant, I’ve split this article in to several parts.
A few weeks ago I posted about how I was suffering from information overload. I decided to try and dramatically cut down on my consumption of information. Obviously [...]
