So I have been reading and reading and reading and reading and now I know too much. So I have to be killed. Well that is how it feels in my head. I have just whipped out my ipad to write this blog as a way of getting started writing today. All that is needed […]
Get Your Shit Together Mitchell.
So reader I married him. Tweet me back if you know the book that line is from. (If you are in London, I’ll buy you a BulletProof coffee and you can ask me anything.) I can never decide where to start and that is the issue. I thought if I nicked someone else line it […]
Am I Really a Successful Blogger?
This is going somewhere, please stick with me. So doing the working out loud thing is become more solid for me. Posting what ‘one’s blog’ is making is a daring way of making it work and offering something for people to follow and hopefully collaberate and chip in with advice and comments too. I am […]
Seven Groovy Things That Make @90Mainyard my #coworking home
I have been living at 90Mainyard for well over two years now. I found my bubble of coworking bliss via Alex Butlers Kindred HQ Meet Up and have never looked back. The peace and quiet of this place played a significant roll in me scrabbling out of depression and into embracing podcasting and blogging with […]
Why a Mailchimp email is better than a Facebook page
I am always getting a kick in from people about emails. I don’t like WORKING in email – it is a time suck and a closed loop. Where as tools like Trello, Asana and the amazing Slack allow open and transparent collaborative communication. My point today is about email lists – I call mine my […]
Loomio
So I have been getting a bit of flack from people about my no-email post from earlier in the week. I want to explain my position in a little more detail. Tools I work with other people with are: loomio – for open collaborative decision making. Around forty of us make decisions in an open […]
Working out loud Part 6. Doubling Down On Podcasting
So Bernie where is your head for this week? 1. Blogging and Podcasting I have decided to double down even harder on ONLY podcasting – to stop fiddling around with all the other ‘stuff’ like breathing, eating and my family. It seems to me I spend more time thinking about my blog than I do […]
50 #sharingeconomy coffees in London
This is the formula I have been looking for. I want to put my balls on the line in a decent way. I am no longer feeling depressed and crushed I have suddenly become a balanced and realistic human being. The last few years of depression have taught me when to say no, when to […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
