Sometimes that honesty may make you defensive, or it may <span id="more-103"></span>even make me uncomfortable &#8211; by telling something that I went through or am going through&#8230; but I&#8217;ll say it anyway.</p><p>My point of view will be completely nude.</p><p><strong>What&#8217;s The Point?</strong><br /> Becomng.com is here to talk about everything from setting and achieving goals, pushing through procrastination, web tools that make things easier (or more difficult), starting and building a business, building relationships, and so much more.  Everything though, in one way or another, will relate to personal development &#8211; which today involves much more than it did even just a few years ago.</p><p>There are many personal development blogs out there &#8211; almost every one is written and focused around the psychological elements.  Which is fine &#8211; they&#8217;re timeless topics and I read as much of it as I can get my hands on.  But people who read Becomng are looking to transform their lives &#8211; not just by reading, but by using tools available to them today.  Take productivity as an example&#8230; you can&#8217;t tell me an article about productivity that doesn&#8217;t mention possible to-do list tools like <a href="http://www.rememberthemilk.com" title="Remember The Milk">Remember The Milk</a> and others is up to modern standards.  Classic examples are good&#8230; and many times going farther than that will just convolute the entire deal&#8230; but when it&#8217;s relevant, you&#8217;ll hear about it here.</p><p><strong>What Now?</strong><br /> Well take a look at <a href="/about/" title="About Becomng">our about page</a> and read a little more.  You should also <a href="/feed/" title="Becomng.com Subscription">subscribe to our RSS Feed</a> so that you can see when we post new articles.  Also, at the bottom of this page you&#8217;ll see a newsletter subscription.  We send this out once a month and will be full of tips and tricks and topics covered over the previous month.</p><p>I will NEVER turn comments off on posts &#8211; I don&#8217;t care how many there ends up being.  I&#8217;d rather upgrade my server than not have conversations about each post.  I will also make every effort to respond to as many comments as I can.  Always.</p><p>One more thing &#8211; if you&#8217;re a writer (or just have good ideas) &#8211; <a href="/contact/" title="Contact Becomng">go over to our contact page</a> and let me know.  If you&#8217;d like some promotion and can send us an article per week or month, I&#8217;d be glad to help someone out.</p><strong>Tags: </strong><a href="http://goodplum.com/tag/becomng/" title="becomng" rel="tag">becomng</a>, <a href="http://goodplum.com/tag/becomng-news/" title="Becomng News" rel="tag">Becomng News</a><br /><div style="display:block"><small><em>by Elliott Kosmicki <a href="http://goodplum.com/why-im-writing-in-the-nude/#comments">Leave A Comment</a><br />&copy;2010 <a href="http://goodplum.com">Good Plum</a>.
