Last weeks lesson....Bookends

Each of our karate classes ends with a short talk and an inspirational message. We have one message per week and since I make it to several classes, I hear it several times.

Last week was about "the importance of bookends". This means that it's important to pay attention to how you start and stop each activity. The two examples that were give: focus on starting class with real intensity and having the intensity at the finish too. And, you should start each day with intensity (they suggested a short run) and finish it not with the drone of a TV but with some reflection on the day.

As I listened to the talk, it seemed to me that they were suggesting that you should finish each day with a short blog post reflecting on the reality of today and the promise of tomorrow.

This reminded my of one my favorite posts: Why do I blog? Any current favorite marketing activity: Promoting the BlogWritingCourse.
