BLOG My Bulletproof #LondonMarathon 2016 So I had to admit defeat when it came to training for the London Marathon and the race itself. Rather than walk around looking like a woman on the verge of nervous breakdown for the next six weeks I bit the bullet and admitted it was not to going happen this time. I called my mate Chris, from Publicate.it to ask his opinion of the situation. Chris is one of those people that 'squeezes' in a couple of Triathlons each weekend, he was being nice but I could tell where his true advice lay. Don't.
BLOG Natalie Bennett: Daring Greatly and always in #Beta Natalie Bennett dived on Radio yesterday so of course she can't be Prime Minister. Off with her head! She is meant to be shaping up to pitch to run the country, changing society and challenging the status quo. She can't even speak.The guy interviewing her LOVED it, his perverse radio glee was so ripe I thought I was listening to Jimmy Savile being given the keys to Great Ormond Street Hospital and asked to lock up for the night.As I paced up and down outside Senate House near Russell Square list
BLOG A day in the life of Bernie Of course this would be much more interesting for you to read if I was mud wrestling with Hilary Clinton or had just released a new tune with Bruno Mars. My life is pretty mundane so the last thing you need to do is think I am showing off in this blog post. I enjoy the conversations I have with people about how to get things done or rather overcoming fear, pissing about and procrastinating. That is the grade of 'getting things done' that I mean - I'd hate for you to be intimidated by me mislead
BLOG Losing my religion? That's me in the corner..... I have been thinking why things annoy me. Most of the time people don't really set out to annoy me - I get annoyed with them. Then I get upset and they will never know. If you think about it you are flattering yourself if you think people sit around plotting how to upset you, if they are they are INSANE and that is very different from you thinking they are setting out to annoy you each day. In my world #babybernie 'tries his luck, and I'd rather have a curious child
BLOG What do you most know about #blogging Bernie? What do you most know about blogging Bernie? Is a question I am never asked. If I was an industry expert and was 'often' asked that question I'd be able to start this blog by saying 'I am often asked by my clients...' I have to say by this stage of the game it is all about fear, not tech, crafting words, SEO or anything useful and billable. Just fear. Even more than the type of fear a Tory politician experiences when asked to sign an transparency deceleration. Honestly I am quite sure that e
BLOG Why blogs beat podcasts.... I had to stop listening to podcasts. Every time listened to one I would copy something said into my own podcast. I craved to be part of the podcasting gang. "I listened to your episode"was what I thought podcasters would expect me so say. This meant I listened to every episode just in case they asked. They never did. Even worst I could not help but borrow ideas and lines to the point where I became paranoid. I feared that people would know I got that question from Mitch Joel or Neville Hobson.
BLOG Why I'm not a writer - YET Ramsey has a blog post by Blog Tyrant that I make myself go back to every so often. "Why you are not a writer" is a list of what we do instead of writing. That list of important things like ‘getting set up to write’ that take longer to get ready than actual writing. I spent last week beating myself up a bit I because I set out to blog everyday in 2015. Blogging everyday is not going well, I write everyday but I don't post every day. I 'forget' or 'wait to finish' a post. Chose yourself The
BLOG Why are you so quiet Bernie? It is not I have gone into a coma, it is that I feel significantly more relaxed and when I don't feel relaxed I meditate - some times the gap between being 'edgy' and un-relaxed is a little larger than I'd like. One of the best things about 90 Mainyard is the HUGE Olympic Park nearby where you can always find a spot to sit and meditate, snooze or walk around - this is great for your soul and creativity. Not it is hard to find, so I got into waking up early and making meditation the first thing
BLOG What on earth am I doing on this blog? If I wrote out all the amazing ideas, strategy and content in my head for this blog on napkins they'd surely make a pile big enough to cushion the landing of a small elephant from falling from space. Please don't ask how an elephant got up there in the first place. Anyway, I digress. And this seems to be the problem, I digress. I have declared myself a writer, blogger, podcaster and keeping a state where my attention is maintained is a challenge. For example, so far in what I am writing righ
BLOG Write as I am. So here how the day goes. Or rather how my writing goes. What I think I mean is "how my writing does not go." This time I am aware of it. I wake up, I POWER out cutting edge prose on 750words.com and then get ready for something. Does not matter what, it involves trying to leave the house with a small child and get to a bus stop. I then gaze out the window of the bus and reflect on how good I am to have written everyday for so many days. (Short aside) A big part of being 'fixed' / mended /
BLOG Neill! Neill! Orange Peel! So #babybernie has moved it all up a gear. As I write he has piled up the cushions from the sofa and is lying on top of them by way of protest. The 'disruption' is over cooling down his porridge which spoon to use. You would think I had put all his toys and his best friend in a microwave, turned it on full power and was making him watch it all melt into one - with the volume turned up. Yesterday we stood in our road for fifteen minutes while he refused to move. There was something like 100 m
BLOG Rescue Me So when in doubt write. Somewhere I lost my rhythm today. I think I lost my rhythm sometime on Saturday night. I was heading for a good nights sleep and woke up Sunday feeling like I'd been in a drinking competition and lost. The main spanner in the works is that I do my best work in the morning and then fade off in the afternoon. I can leap out of bed at 6am and then by the time I get to 3pm (now) I am either falling asleep or just can't focus. Even though I have a well thought out list in T
