doing – From the desk of Adam Thomas

Am I selling something here?

So, is this the part where a huge banner rolls out, and I offer some sort of service?

Rest assured, there is no fee structure appearing. I don’t do it for the sweet ad revenue.

I don’t know if these things will come into play at a later date, but for now, all my advice is free, and even if you call me or email me, there is no quote, no payment plan, no injection into a sales funnel.

So, this place doesn’t exist for money. I am doing this for other reasons.

Why Does It Exist?

This place exists as an eternal playing ground for my ideas, a worksheet to make my thoughts public, and a forum for others to see my work. In short, this is a place for “doing”.

This is a public place for me to exist, and work out ideas.

Life as Usual also serves as a forward thinking resume. If you did want to hire me for some work, I am available. If I submitted to a job to work, here are my thoughts. If you wanted to do a deep dive, look no further.

I don’t think there is a better cover letter than a search feature and thousands of words on how someone feels. Take a look and go.

So Just Doing Stuff Then.

This post isn’t a judgement on any other branding sites that exist. Trust me, many of them have strategies that I love, and if I change my mind on what I offer here, then they are first up to copy.

(And I do change my mind quite often)

But for now, this is a place for me to kick around ideas. I welcome you to kick them around with me. Let’s get doing.

Three Quick Thoughts

Three quick week-end thoughts to close the week on the weekend :-).

Learn how to do a simple task well – Learning how to do something very simple very well is a boost of confidence. Great example – making your bed well. If you make your bed well every morning, not only do you get something done, the bed becomes a place of calm. I have taken this up recently and nothing is better than knowing when I get home if nothing else, my bed looks great.
Silent Walks – Cut out the music when walking. It’s easy to get distracted by beauty outside – but our best ideas are inside. Giving your brain some latitude by not listening to anything when you walk or drive gives your brain some time to tackle some harder problems. Awkward at first, combining silence with movement has generated some great ideas.
Writing It Down – Take a moment – write it down. Always have a tiny notebook and a pen. The brain is fickle.
