On June 15th of this year, I will have written an Applied Learning blog post each weekday morning for the past five years as an endeavor to continue learning for myself. To write, I aimed to take a prominent thought and briefly share an idea in a somewhat cogent way so that others could maybe connect with it to enhance their applied learning practice as well.

From this concerted effort, today’s post now marks number 1,280. This total far surpasses any original goal that I would have imagined when I started this journey. As I’ve been known to do, when I fully commit to something I work to make the most of it.

Tenacity and durability of habit are characteristic’s that I was brought up with. My Father missed less than five days of work with being out sick in his 43+ years with the railroad. That is a demonstration of nearly unmatched tenacity by applied example I would say. I am honored to have this attribute to some degree for myself, it has been a difference maker for any success I feel that I have obtained.

Every beginning has an end. My last writing exercise, at least in this way, will be June 14th, 2023. It’s the right time to move on to another endeavor to fully invest my learning in. Writing has been a challenging learning opportunity for me, with a number of great moments along the way. Starting each workday with a new connecting thought in my head that might be shared for another’s creative benefit has been a great experience.

In the last five posts of Applied Learning, I will reflect and share a bit more on my writing experience lessons and what I believe I have learned along the way. The right time has come.
