You've heard of mononucelosis? You've heard of Mono Lake? You've heard of Mono syllabic? Another Mono you may have not heard of is Mono Mania.

24 Comments on Avoiding Mono Mania In Life
Carl: I am all into NOT DULL like you.
Barbara: If it works and you are happy, just go for it!! Key is, don't get burned out on something. If you do, you've gone too far.
Randy: I like the COLOR of life too.
Jon: Glad there was a little of that inspiration going for you...
So true Gary, Mixing it up daily will keep boredom from creeping!
Essential post...very important to mix it up. Thanks, Gary!
Gary it amazes me how people can spend their life on facebook or whatever focus they've got. I so agree - life is like a banquet - don't eat the same stuff over and over. How boring and certainly living inside the box and not even close to the edge!
Gary,
I live with and share a wife a cat, Kat is into mono-napping!
I'd rather endure the mono... than listen to the mono-toned!
Bill
Gary, it's my nature to mix it up. Trying to get on a schedule is so hard for me because I can do it for a week, then I'm b-o-r-e-d! I do understand what you mean about variety and setting good habits goes along with that. Point well made. I don't understand the people who are on FB and twitter seemingly 24 hours a day. They must be auto-posting but can't be when they are responding. Where is their other life?

Banana--thank you for the breadcrumb trail to this!
(See, I went sideways just from this comment. HAHA!)
Gary, I think highly creative people have trouble going in a straight line! :)
I go thru phases . . . but they soon pass. HAHAHA!
Gary~ What great words of advice. It's so easy to get involved and single minded. I think it makes us all a little stale after awhile.
Hi Gary...it is always the question of living on the edge or living in a rut for me...I am such a creature of habit. I do need to step out a bit...thanks for the encouragement!
Cindy in Indy
Song for this post Smile. Variety is the spice of life and I like spice. LOL
Wanda: Ha Ha No creeping boredom allowed....
Li: Glad you like variety.
Anna: The banquet thought is very good. Be a sampler of many things.
Bill: Mono tone - UNGOOD~~~
Sharon Alters: I agree with you boring is not fun!!
Candice: Zig zags are the natural way in life...
Kim: Good point of don't make life stale.
Cindy: Live a little, step on out : )
Sharon Lee: Great song in shake it all up!!
Gary,
I go brain dead after a while if I don't take a break. I love to mix it up with family, surf and gardening. You have to find balance in life.
Good evening Gary,
I like that term..Mono Mania..I'll be using that...having balance is crucial in life..you do always give the best advice!!
Gary,
So true...I do try to mix it up now and then....and you know...the older I get...the wiser I get... :)
Gary, good luck with the Rock and Roll 1/2 marathon tomorrow! You see and experience all sorts of variety in that race. A new band every mile. Some runners will be dressed up. Some will be awesome. Some will struggle. I hope you have fun first and foremost.
Thanks for the reminder Gary. There are alot of great examples here in AR, I need to change it up a bit too.
Hi Gary...I love to mix it up in my blogs and in my life. Always have and always will. Being spontaneous and always making time for family, friends, and myself is important to me.
Thanks for your consistent (but never boring) inspiration.
Kate
Gary:
I want to avoid getting "mono-tonous" but, mono A mono, this is a mono-poly of the meaning of mono...
but then I might be viewing this ... out of mono-logical order.
I ran out of "mono" things to add.
Great Blog!
Tom
Steven: I am similar with the brain dead with monotony and love to break things up.
Dorie: Mono Mania is like single focus CRAZY. Not good to get that way.
Lori: You are a wise cookie : )
Sondra: Thanks for your encouragement with the race, and I did just fine (I didn't die ha ha) and you were right about the variety of people and the lively bands on the course.
Mike: Just having some variety even with the blogging adds lots of stimulation to your writing.
Kate: You always give us many examples of mixing it up, and I love it !!!
Tom: I love all your mono terms. I'll take a monorail right to your apartment investments : )
Gary, good words to live by. Great comparison. Being "mono" in anything can't possibly good. I like your ideas of veering away from the same topic day in and day out. You do get writers block after a while. I'm going to take your advice and write about a plumber I just met and about my personal ministry experiences. Thanks Gary.
