Melder's musings: Finding the drive to blog when you don't have a specific thing to say

After a productive start of the year in my blog, I’ve kinda slowed down my writing output over the past few weeks.

A couple of reasons for this. The main one being life taking a busy turn; kids back at school, work projects ramping up etc. While I continue to journal, my brain just hasn’t had the space to think and write about a specific thing.

The other part is being indecisive on what to write about. I like tech and interntional living, but I don’t want this to end up as some amateur tech blog or end up just writing posts about intentional living that repeat themselves just to get more posts out.

So, I’ve decided to start a series called Melder’s Musings. Just a space for me to write about whatever I’m thinking or going through at the time; with no self pressure on the structure, length, or need to make a point or provide a key takeaway for whomever reads this.

Right now I’m in one of my happy places. It’s 7am and I’m at one of my favourite cafes near Roockingham Beach enjoying a coffee. I’m grateful I’m able to do this occasionally before I head to the office to start work.

After a series of stinking hot days here in Perth, Western Australia; I’m going to enjoy the hell out of the 27 degree celcius day, although it is still a bit too humid for my liking (we like a dry heat here in Perth).

I have recently purchased the Elite 10 ANC earbuds, which I might write some thoughts on at some stage. I did want some ANC earbuds for my train commute after giving my gen 1 AirPod Pros to my wife last year.

After damaging my hearing with music that was too loud when I was younger, I’m a bit more careful with my hearing these days (I’ll probably write something to expand on that too). As such, ANC earbuds are very useful for my commute to prevent me playing my music too loud on regular earbuds.

Must resist the urge to end a post with a nice little wrap up or sign off. That’s not the point of these ones Andrew :)
