There are three parts to the name Well In Progress.
Wellness is the topic of this website. (Probably obvious.)
It signifies that I have been learning about and working on wellness for a while now, so I'm well on my way.
It draws on the idea that wellness is an active pursuit of development (i.e., a work in progress) and, more importantly, a continuous journey.
I would say my level of knowledge on wellness is intermediate, but scattered. I learn from therapy, books, podcasts, online courses, the internet in general, fitness classes, business seminars, conversations with friends -- pretty much everywhere. Wellness touches everything, so it makes sense that everything touches on wellness. I make mental notes and sometimes even come up with a plan or little activities to apply the idea and test the theories. Then I go on about my day (and life) and forget about it altogether.
That's where this website comes in. I can journal, but I haven't figured out an organized way to look back on useful ideas when I need them. I can develop an organized system to catalog ideas but then that seems like a lot of work if it's only meant for my sporadic use. So I am thinking it may be worth the effort to develop a resource for myself in a way that can be useful to others as well. Scalability, I guess. I'd like to help myself in a way that can scaled to help others. (I'm not sure if that's right, but it's fine.)
I'm not sure where this will go and I know the format and content will likely change along the way. I hope to commit to this project, be mindful about its purpose and direction, revaluate often, and adapt when necessary. Basically, I'm saying that Well In Progress is, in fact, a work in progress. (Har-har.)
I'm a writer at heart, so some content will likely be thoughtful and long-winded as I'm trying to process and parse ideas. I'm also a very busy person, so some content will brief and to the point. I'm an organization nerd, lifestyle enthusiast, promoter of life hacks (even though less so of the term life hack itself), supporter of all things that make life easier and more enjoyable, a sharer, a helper, and a partaker of dry humor. This will hopefully but more so probably come through in the content I will create soon.
