Hey all, in this post I would like to highlight a great ongoing series of articles entitled “Life Lessons in Wargaming”. The series has been written by Chuck Moore (@odiamh) over at the Realm Gate Blog to apply wider life skills to our wargaming hobby. I highly recommend you give them a read over on Chuck’s site.
- Goals and Purpose – the importance of, and skills of, setting effective goals. How to set short and long-term goals to finish armies or push your painting and gaming to the next level;
- Self-Discipline vs Self-Control – tools and advice for removing unproductive distractions that undermine you achieving your goals;
- Don’t Focus on the Outcome – how to focus on getting things done, in order to turn that vision into a reality;
- Failing to Succeed – how to grow through set-backs and failure;
- Continuous Improvement – success is a slow process, think about turning the improvement dial one notch at a time;
- Motivation vs Dedication – how to work through those hobby slumps;
- Finding your support – tips for establishing a support group, or groups, in order to achieve your hobby goals;
- Mental well-being and happiness – addressing choosing happiness; and
- You Are Doing Better Than You Think – reflecting on your progress in a constructive manner.
Subscribe or follow Chuck’s blog as he will be adding to the series over time, and you get to see him putting his principles into action, smashing out Daughters of Khaine and Deepkin armies.
I’d be really interested to hear from you if you have advice or experiences from other disciplines that help you achieve hobby and personal success. So get in touch, through the site
