Blogging Rut

I’m in a bit of a blogging rut. There are several reasons. No excuses. (I’m rather adamant about not making excuses. I don’t really believe in excuses I suppose.) But yes, there are reasons.

I’ve been very busy. I’m busy mostly with work and business-related activities, but I’m also coaching a ball hockey team (my eldest son) and I volunteer with a few agencies. I’ve also been helping a neighbour that’s struggling through a difficult time.

The busy-ness also puts me behind on my reading. I tend to sacrifice a few of the important but less urgent activities when I get swamped. Reading is one of those. Working out is another. Working on my golf game would also fall into that category.

We teach Straight-Line Golf™, and we guarantee a 25% improvement in your game, or your money back. Iron clad, so to speak.

So, when I’m out golfing at a local club, people expect me to be able to play fairly well. And indeed, I expect the same of myself.

The fact remains though, that I have not yet taken our golf training. That will happen, partially at least, in June, in Mexico. I will become fully certified to teach Straight-Line Golf later this year, as we get closer to opening our doors.

So, for now, I’m doing my best to learn on my own. It’s not easy. I mean, I’m sure it’s easy to pick up if you take our lesson program. I mean, we guarantee results. The franchisor has figured out how to teach the swing and ensure the student achieves success. So, it will be easy for me to pick up once I get some training. But, on my own, it’s a challenge to learn.

And so, I must practice. And I must keep up with my reading. And I must keep up with the many other important but non-urgent tasks that tend to fall by the wayside during very busy times. And this all explains why I’m in a blogging rut. It’s these important but non-urgent tasks that inspire blog entries.
