Jaz highlights the fact that in our race to share all the interesting articles, images, quotes and videos we come across, we're getting sucked into the vortex of 'interesting'. This means we can end up miss the truly remarkable stuff going on around us because of all the noise. I know I've definitely been guilty of this.

So I've decided to give this idea of Jaz's a go:

Wonderwebby’s 2014 motto for meaningful interaction online

• When consuming content…
  Am I reading/liking/sharing this because it’s really remarkable? Or is it just interesting?
   
• When creating content…
  Am I sharing this because it has meaning for me? (remarkable.) Or am I doing this ‘for the internet‘ (interesting)

I don't think we need to restrict ourselves to sharing/creating ONLY remarkable stuff. But I do think it's worth become more conscious curators of the stuff we're choosing to put out there.

'Sharing with intent' instead of just adding to the noise if you will.

Thoughts?!

 

Taking stock

This week I've been ...

• Moving: slowly because I joined a cult. The CrossFit cult. Hold me.
• Eating: less than normal because when your whole body hurts, your appetite just disappears.
• Getting: excited about DPCON - in two weeks I will be on a cruise ship with my hubby, enjoying three kid free days and nights together. Oh yeah, I will also be talking about blogging (well Wordpress). Sweeet!
• Thinking: about the concept of confidence and the part we play in instilling it in our kids.
• Watching: the cricket and enjoying the fact that we just beat South Africa. Yah!
• Having: trouble prioritising. Too many 'important' things needing my attention at the moment.
• Loving: autumn. It's hands down my favourite season here in Perth. Warm days, clear skies and a beautiful breeze most afternoons. 

Where I've been this week

• At Mamamia I share more about my marriage than you'll ever need to know.
• The Organised Housewife's readers loved the concept of treating failure like a scientist 
• I was flat as a tack on Monday and Monday's Manifesto reflected that!
• Yesterday I asked whether a competitive nature can ever sit comfortably with the concept of mediocrity
• Meanwhile on the Swish blog ... so you think you're not an entrepreneur?

Stuff I wish I wrote

• Writing is cheaper than therapy you know? And this post from Kerri Sackville about how anyone can use writing as therapy is actually genius
• These words from Angela Mollard in her new book The Smallest Things - it is the closest thing I've seen to describing how I feel about having children.

 
Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend!
