It feels as though you spoke directly to me. I'm getting better, though. I used to keep all my to do's in my head. Well, I graduated to writing it down. Makes a difference. I left the to-do list on my desk to make it easy to see and am starting to cross off a few to do's. You are right, marketing and building a following conjoins. So, I'd love to hear what else to say about it. Since my novel is coming out soon, I find myself trying to learn everything all at once. I've grown. But not enough. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been retired for six years. I tried various volunteer activities my first year of retirement-one of them was a bad fit. Several, however, were indeed a good fit, especially my “work” at the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site. I developed friendships with the Park Rangers and other volunteers. We’ve kept in touch via email and FB, but it’s not the same as going out after “work” and discovering a new micro-brewery, for example.
So I miss the social engagement too, which brought pleasure in addition to feeling useful.
The only volunteer gig that I still engage in is Quora...but it’s not enough to answer questions about psychology related issues. I basically wear my “faculty hat” when fielding those queries.
Fascinating, in the words of Mr Spock. As a person in the cut of Frank GIlbreth Sr. analyzing any repetitive action for a improved efficiency is instinctive. This opens a new aspect which, thank you Linda, I will now be watching for. LOL My lovely lady tells me it is a facet of my CDO personality(that is OCD rearranged in the proper order).
Hi Linda. I almost left without making a comment. The login thing got me. What's with that?
Thank you for this article. It touched on a point I don't think I ever truly heard explained in the way you did. Found it interesting and enlightening.
I guess I'll just have to write that short story about my hollow VW bug ...
Thanks for the slap upside the head!

What I’m struggling with, you asked.
Feeling useful during lockdown.

Each week I look for to my Friday morning reading of your newsletter. I learn so much.
I also followed the link to the article on building an audience. Fascinating.
Yes, please teach more. Have you thought of offering a course or 1:1 coaching? I'd be interested!

You quote the Talmud. Out of curiosity, are you familiar with Gematria? No sneak peaking here.
