Productivity has fallen by more than 50% on this blog since 2012. We've had some major life changes that have forced me to reallocate time. The biggest being our move to Maryland mid-year. Working from home was supposed to afford more time and less driving time but I think I've been working longer hours then ever before! I think a wise new years resolution would be to restructure my work hours. I've been staying up too late, sleeping in too late and that pushes my work hours too late. Time to get on a proper schedule put work where it belongs!
That said, I'm considering exploring a new theme on my blog. A blog friend and I have been exchanging articles regarding human rights issues; typically the kind found in the work force like domestic worker abuse and factory worker abuse. I wonder if we might make a place to highlight issues, bring them to light and make people aware. I know there are already some great companies doing this like Fair Trade, and what can one person really do to make a difference? I ask myself that all the time, but who really knows what one article will make a difference in your buying patterns? Or maybe it's a series of articles that slowly changes one's mindset. I know mine has been changing as I'm made more aware of where products come from. Is it really possible to dig deeper and know where all our products are made? Again, there are many great companies already working hard to highlight these issues, but maybe readers of this site do not know of them.
Well, it's an issue that's been bothering me for a long time so I thought why not make some noise on my little side of the internet. So now the only question is, how can I handle a BIG topic and actually be productive on this blog? Well maybe it's all down to scheduling. Get work hours under control, and everything else falls into place!
