Steve's Secret Side Project?
 
I signed up with this site a few weeks ago and have been getting weekly inspirational emails from it. The guy who does is also named Steve and he has referred to Steve Pavlina in every email so far. Is this 'Productivity Blog' a Pavlina side project?

If so, great.. it's pretty good. If not.. it's still pretty good. :)

Your link doesn't work because it has an expletive in it, so it got starred out. I guess the name of the website is doit****ingnow.com. I don't think Steve (pavlina) is involved in such a thing. It's a little different from the things that Steve does. And with a website name like that, how can the person that runs it to be taken seriously?

If Steve changed the name of his site to Steve****ingPavlina.com would that change the quality of the content?

Considering the many open sexual references he makes (it is part of life) in his posts.. I get the feeling, while generally and mostly "family" orientated.. I don't think he's so prudish as not to make use of the whole colorful spectrum of the English language.. if/when it suits his purpose.

I, for one, certainly wouldn't and don't mind it. But I'm not in the habit of cussing. I personally think it can make a person sound a bit ignorant, but it also comes in handy in certain circumstances.

At any rate, it's probably not him. That Steve says he's in Oregon.

the site is one page titled and says:
My Productivity Blog

So I was about to start a productivity blog, but that's kind of oxymoronic isn't it? How productive will you be while reading a blog?

The point is that Steve won't.
If we assume that the site name was consciously chosen, it does say a bit about the criteria that the person has about his own website.

Steve Pavlina wouldn't choose to title his website that way.

The site itself appears to almost be a parody of productivity blogs.
