Notes & Knowledge
Welcome to the Herding Chickens Blog
An introduction to the Herding Chickens blog: one actionable, tested tip per post, never more than five live at once, so it stays a resource and never becomes another thing to keep up with.
disclaimer: these posts are not medical advice and provided as information only, with no guarantees
Dear readers, thank you for being here with us. We're delighted to introduce our blog today.
The design principle behind it is simple: every post gives you exactly one actionable tip, something you can start putting into practice today. And we only write about things that are proven to work: things we've tested ourselves and that have genuinely made a difference for us.
We'd also love your feedback on how these tips work for you. We read every message.
The short version
One tip each time
Every post gives you exactly one actionable tip, something you can start putting into practice today.
We tested it
We only write about things that are proven to work: things we've tested ourselves and that have genuinely made a difference for us.
Keep the list small
We'll always keep at most five live at any one time. The goal isn't for you to spend a lot of time reading.
Find the one that resonates
Read one, two, maybe three, find the one that resonates, and put it into practice today.
One thing we don't want to do is overwhelm you with information. So even as we keep adding posts, we'll always keep at most five live at any one time. The goal isn't for you to spend a lot of time reading; it's for you to read one, two, maybe three, find the one that resonates, and put it into practice today.
See how it goes. Give it a few days, a week, sometimes two, to really get the most out of a new habit. If it works, keep it. If it doesn't, that's okay too, at least you tried. Either way, let us know. We'd love the feedback.
With that, enjoy, and we'll speak to you again soon.
