It’s what you do every day that counts.

If not every day then the regular thing you do within your life, the thing that you work at, invest in and therefore get better at.

When I was off work for January I never wrote a blog. I worked really hard before I started my break to try and provide the material so everything could be scheduled for while I was off and I could have a complete break; but when I came back I found I had almost lost the ability to ‘write’.

47 days of not writing a blog made me forget how to write a blog. While it will not take me long to get back into the swing of things it’s interesting to reflect on what effect it has.

I started new things during the sabbatical which I will continue to run, because I did these almost every day I have now practiced them and therefore improved.

I think this applies all the way through your life, it’s the things that you commit to do on a regular basis, particularly day after day which are the things that matter, the things that count and the things that add up over time.

This year we go on holiday to the camp site in Italy again for something like the 10^th time. We are experts at going on holiday to this camp site. This makes the most extraordinary holidays, but only for us. I have recommended it to other people in the past but some of them just don’t seem to get it and can’t understand why we think it is so good.

It’s because we have practiced it and made it work for us.

The way you turn up for work, the way you go about your work and the attitude that you have towards your work is the same.

Being ‘always on stage’ at work is a practiced habit.

Being enthusiastic, inspired and inspiring is also something that gets better with application over time.

When I first got back from the time off and started to try to ‘write’ again I thought I had forgotten how to do it after 1500 blogs.

I think I’ve remembered but it will take a bit more practice just yet.
