Today is a rainy day so I have less of interest to write about. The rain fell this morning. It continued until this afternoon. Rain is an excuse not to go for a daily walk. It is an opportunity for a rest day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday my 770 plus day streak on Duolingo was broken because I was too distracted to take a lesson. I wanted to break that streak. I didn’t want to break it intentionally. I wanted it to be by accident. I accomplished that goal. Now I am free to reset and work on creating a new routine that is better suited to the new goals. The focus will be web development, whether JSON-LD, JS, WordPress, or more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am currently reading Cow Pie Water<\/a>. The book was written either as a series of blog posts or journal entries and transports you along their PCT hike. Many of the posts are short and to the point. If you have a blog and want to turn it into a book then use this as inspiration. Use a proofreader . It feels as if they simply cut their journal\/blog from online, to e-book or book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantage of writing, rather than vlogs or podcasts, is that you can read it in your own time, and with less engagement, You can read five minutes a day, but a podcast or video five minutes a day would be time consuming and ineffectice People lose focus. My reading backlog is growing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every so often I see that I am not the only one calling for a shift from social media back to blogging. This is positive. Blogging is chronological, and the community is smaller. Adverts, marketing and algorithms do not try brainwash you to become a tool. We reconnect as individuals. We are no longer a follower, we are individuals, especially if we are active within the groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue sky is re-emerging now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sat that I broke my Duolingo habit. I didn\u2019t. I replaced it, over time, with the habit of writing a blog post every single day for months now. this is an acceptable switch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
