The Qwertyrash Blogs

Made some good progress this week with my writing projects. Possibly spent a little too much time on less important things like tweaking the layout of this website.

Some advice to anyone - READ to get more productive. Paradoxically, doing what seems to be non-productive can be indirectly productive, provided it cleanses the mind. The two things I have found critical for me, are reading and walking.

I take a break and either read or walk. Mind you, when I walk, I usually listen to an audiobook. The exception is if I’ve been working long hours, then when I walk I listen to nothing.

Try it, do something to refresh yourself to get more done.

Laughed so hard when I saw an advertisement in the junk mail from a local department store for top of the range electric toothbrushes. As an incentive, they included a bonus gift… a power sander!!

David Hewson, former writer for the Sunday Times, has a list of rules for writing tech articles for newspapers, but which any blogger should also consider.
When big, famous names perform under par—and they do, frequently—we shouldn’t just criticise the product, but the brand too.

We all get heavier as we get older because there’s a lot more information in our heads. I’m not fat, I’m just really intelligent and my head couldn’t hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me!
