But in reality, it’s a challenge for even the best bloggers in the world. Let’s be honest: creating really great content takes a lot of time, effort, thought research, and creativity. And doing all of this consistently often ushers in writing burnout, especially if blogging isn’t your full time job, and actually, even if it is.

Isn't that the way the saying goes? =) Life lesson #1--don't EVER do anything out of obligation. Wrong motivation! Life lesson #2--don't EVER feel bad about saying "no" to something/someone, if you're saying it for the right reason. I hope that schedule of yours has some personal time penciled in? If not, I found a great new place/bar on Monroe Street we can hit up. You game? Pencil that in...soon, like this next week! Though the 'Year of the Rat" is exciting, I encourage you to make this the year of becoming that strong active leader! Do it girl. btw--I just added a 3rd person to e27's board of directors! We're becoming more official each day. Great post. Thanks for being real/honest. That's always better than any obligated, New Years resolution post you could ever write!

You show us that leaders do not always have to have all the answers or be perfect at every moment of the day. You are being honest and trasparent, and that helps to increase your level of leadership. Keep up the good work. Rebecca - what I like most about this post is the humanity. You show us that leaders do not always have to have all the answers or be perfect at every moment of the day.

It's so good. I'll look up Eric Hutchinson. And thanks for the nice comments :) @ Ryan - you got it! @ Tiffany - Definitely. You said it so much more concisely than me ;). I like your thoughts on the days of the week. We're all just doing the best we can! @ Scott - Thanks! Good to have your support. And I doubt that you're uninspired that often! @ Scot - Your comment is exactly why I posted the post. I just needed to get it out there and said so I could move on. I knew that I wouldn't be able to write something great until I admitted that I wasn't writing so great lately.. ha! @ Stephanie - thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. Yes, quiet is good... I'll go re-read my past posts now ;) @ Joe - thanks!what you’ve done

I’ve thought about motivation quite a bit lately. Which comes first, action or motivation? There’s a balance of both, it’s cyclical, each feeds on the other. We are challenged with periods of quiet so that we crave and experience those euphoric moments of passion. I think I read the essence of that from a modern urbanite... Celebrate the quiet.
