Exhaustion and Ideas

So, where do I start?

The last couple of weeks has included lots of visitors, sickness, and participation in a 10.5 hour traffic pile up!

My mind hasn't had much time to think about Nudge Village, though I have tried to post a few entries here and there.

I'm left to question - how do I create enough interest and content to keep moving forward when life throws me "stuff" that requires time away from the business?

Hmmmm.

I keep coming back to a few things:
- Write a supply of daily nudges ahead of time and then click "publish" every few days.
- Give a few guest writers accounts so they can keep the site fresh while I'm out of commission.
- Plan my day better - take 15 minutes at the beginning or end (no matter what) to share and idea, thought or quote.
- Pull in content that I like from other sites when my brain is fried.

All good ideas and I'm not looking for one solution, but a "bag of tricks" to keep me going when the brain is empty.

Luckily, it is the weekend and I don't feel so hot and that means I'm here in bed with my laptop. And, believe it or not, I'm having ideas.

In fact, I put together another SlideShare presentation while I was laying here this morning. Not bad folks, not bad.

Nudginary

One of our "nudgers" entered a comment about how we should have a nudge dictionary. Very clever!

We'll get working on it. Great idea.

A Village of Nudgers

So, the Senior Nudger gave me the idea to use the phrase "A Village of Nudgers" for Nudge Village. Will need to figure out if I have that as the title of the page, the tag line or in what capacity.

That really is the desired outcome - to have us all nudge each other toward our entrepreneurial dreams, passions or whatever.

Hmmm. Will have to think on this for a bit.

Nudgings from Villagers

So cool. Someone that knows about my website came up to me at work today and made a suggestion to give the capability to add "nudges" just like the "poke" function on Facebook.

Very cool. That is the purpose, after all, to learn from each other, contact each other, help each  other, etc.

That, along with all the ideas people sent in for logos, really made my day.

Now, I've got some nudgings of my own to do - responding to email questions, highlighting another person, posting on Facebook....
