My first post which was just over a week ago, I referenced the sentence that we're all met with here on adagia..."Just write what flows..."
That's what I've done for my first week, but I was recently challenged by abrahamKim with the following....
I know you started out with writing what flows... but now I offer a challenge. Write what flows -- still -- but within one context. You can choose the context but once you choose it I would love to read daily posts (even just monday - friday ) just within that context.
I gave it some thought and came up with a few ideas for the context I want to write within. I have settled on doing something that I believe will be productive for me and also help to keep me focused and accountable to "do the work."
I am going to start documenting and sharing the process of breaking free from the 9-5. I am currently far from being free from the 9 -5. I'm not even at square one yet.
I've been lured in to trading my time for a consistent paycheck and benefits and 2-3 weeks of vacation time per year. Nothing wrong with those things, but I know I want to challenge myself more, learn more and do more than my 9-5 allows. In other words, I want to grow in the areas that interest me, provide value to others and create the lifestyle I want. The 9 - 5 is not allowing me to do those things right now.
For that reason, I'm going to start focusing on taking mini steps towards breaking free from the 9-5 and reporting what I'm doing, what I'm learning, and all my progress along the way.
I like the idea of using this platform to share my journey to keep me accountable and also to get feedback and input from others that may be further along their own journey.
Today starts with mini step one... tomorrow I'll report back.

Steve I look forward to reading your journey. I'm excited to find out what the first ministep is.
Respect the Practice!!!
