'What are you currently Struggling with?', is this weeks random topic ... and it ends up being an episode about the Struggles of trying to Curate and Focus an Instagram feed: How do you decide what to focus on, when multiple Passions seem right? Do you even need to curate an Instagram Feed? Why is Focus so bleeding hard? lol This one's a bit like being a pinball bouncing around inside my brain as I try to work out what to do. Hope you like this one :)

This weeks random topic was …

'What are you currently Struggling with?'

...it ends up being an episode about the Struggles of trying to Curate and Focus an Instagram feed:

* How do you decide what to focus on, when Multiple Passions seem right?

* Do you even need to curate an Instagram Feed?

* Why is Focus so bleeding hard? lol

 

This one's a bit like being a pinball bouncing around inside my brain, as I try to work out what to do; there's a lot of thinking going on in this one, but the day after recording I made a decision, and The Chaos of Curating finally seems to have found Clarity.

Hope you like this one :)

This was a weird one! I was trying to record a different episode talking about some of my Inspirational People, but it was taking so long I thought ... let's make this weeks topic about how stuff takes longer than you think :) Turns out there's a name for it too, it's called Hofstadter's Law. Hope you enjoy this lil one :)
