Revitalization and new birth
I suspect the best way to start this thing rolling is to just start, and hope the movement takes a pleasing form. Actually, that sentence holds a great deal of what I hope to accomplish with this activity: movement, form and a study of what is pleasing.
The intended focus of this site is motivation. The title came years ago while I was in graduate school and searching for my own internal drive. After a few years of study and observation of why others do what they do, and my current move to advertising (Planning) where the goal is to change behavior, it seems time to produce something.
Secondarily, I have not found a site that I feel completely addressed motivation from a more general perspective. What I have seen is either jargony and way too specific (likely the work of some academic), or so stupidly broad that it isn’t helpful. Also, I always keep my eye out for useful tid-bits, so this should be a good place to gather my thoughts and keep a record.
Finally, I have come to recognize my personal need to develop my writing and communication abilities. Perhaps writing here will help me to assert my own voice more readily. If anything, it will help me formalize thoughts for later application.
This should be a different perspective from other Planning blogs out there, so I hope it works out how I see it. Wish me luck.
