Focus – Answer these 8 questions

1.  Have you ever felt that your life needs a sharper focus?

2. Have you ever wasted an hour or longer watching TV or playing on the internet only to have wished that you had instead done something meaningful?

3. Have you created a blog and really don’t have that much to say on it (Dear Blog, today it rained…)

4. Do you think longingly of things you would like to explore in your life, but don’t know how to go about doing them?

5. Is your support network not as robust as you would like it to be?

6. Did you ever belong to a scouting group or summer reading club and enjoy the direction and motivation it provided?

7. Would you like to learn how to do something, but don’t want a big time commitment?

8. Does a price of free fit in your budget?

If you answered yes to three or more of these questions, then this is the site for you! This website was created to give you a chance to explore new thoughts and places. It was created along the line of a scouting badges that some of us wore proudly on a vest or sash. Each section covers a different aspect of a rich life. There are usually eight to ten things to explore and most of the mini-topics are quick to do.

Then what? After you do your topic, go to your blog and write about it. Then link it back here. As the site grows you will have an instant support group. Real people that share your interests. If you discover a life long learning passion, wonderful. If you didn’t try some other topic!

Topics are listed to the right under categories.  New topics are added regularly.  Feel free to suggest some.

The best way to work with this site is to have a blog (Online journal. The term BLOG comes from web log).  Where do you get a blog? Most blogs are free and take only minues to set up. Some of the better know blog hosting sites are:

• https://www.blogger.com
• http://www.livejournal.com/
• http://wordpress.org/
• http://multiply.com/
• http://www.posterous.com/  (very, very easy!)

There is also MySpace.com which has a blogging component and Twitter.com for little, tiny blogs.    

Please leave any suggestions for new topics or othercomments. Good luck. Now get going!
