September goals---thwarted in week 2
Best intentions are cast aside once again. I managed to do my week one commitment of making a reader famous, although I think it is more accurately writing a post about a reader, the infamous Sue Waters. The ASTD chapter I write for was having a mobile learning program, so who better than to talk about having resources related to that topic.
The challenge of the week then became headlines. I think of it as how to make Christine feel totally inadequate week. I know I am terrible at headlines. I am terrible at naming everything. Pets. Workshops. Artwork. And then I discover the group includes not only people who are clever and witty.....but poetic too. I'm doomed. So I avoid the task. Well, I guess I tried to do better. But mostly I just experienced inadequacy.
I said I was going to write a post catching readers up on the focus of my blog, then I realized I didn't know what that was anymore. So I need to revisit the mission statement. Big task. Since I'll be traveling to speak at two different conferences in the next week, perhaps I can utilize some of that time away from the computer to do some quality thinking.
Of course, tomorrow is another new challenge day. PLEASE make it something I'm good at........

- LOL Christine - you make me laugh - that was well written and startlingly familiar in places. I can't even COPE with the challenges in here at the moment let alone 31 days. Was going to bed now (6.29 pm on a Tuesday evening) but now feel I need to do at least ONE blog challenge of some description so the conscience will let me sleep in peace

I can't believe that instead of making a reader famous you have made her infamous ROFL.
I hope the people enjoy my information on mlearning. Have not forgotten about the mobile travelling gear questions am still researching the topic.
Personally I liked the headlines tasks. But I will cross my fingers for you that Michelle is nice.
