Is there anything more enchanting? Transporting? Transcending?  When I was a kid, and people asked me "What superpower would you want to have?" My answer would usually be mind-reading. Or super-speed.  I ran pretty well in high school, but I never was able to get that super-speed I always talked about. But I was able to figure out that mind reading was available to all of us. At least, some form of it.  Writing.

Nice.  It's been cool to stick to this, so far. Writing is like pool, or golf. The more you do it, the easier it flows, and your skill sharpens. Not that I know how to golf. And I'm pretty below average at pool. But the comparison was *nice*, you have to admit.  I wanted to spend this Monday musing about motivation.  [ Read More ](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/monday-musings-004-three-videos-i-always-go-back-to-for-motivation) [![](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/hubfs/mixkit-colleagues-brainstorming-ideas-together-395-desktop-wallpaper.png) ](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/two-possible-effects-on-saas-marketing-from-covid) ### [Monday Musings #003: Two Possible Effects on SaaS Marketing from Covid](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/two-possible-effects-on-saas-marketing-from-covid) May 4, 2020 8:28:33 PM [![Image of Chris Eberhardt](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/hs-fs/hubfs/rounded.png?height=70&name=rounded.png) ###### Chris Eberhardt ](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/author/chris-eberhardt) [Monday Musings](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/tag/monday-musings) When you look at the possible impacts COVID will have on the world going forward, they seem innumerable.

Will this glimpse into a world with less pollution encourage us to fight harder against emissions?  [ Read More ](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/two-possible-effects-on-saas-marketing-from-covid) [![A couple walking in the park](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/hubfs/mixkit-elderly-couple-walking-arm-in-arm-through-a-park-279-original.png) ](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/monday-musings-002-the-great-pause-using-covid-to-ask-tough-questions) ### [Monday Musings #002: The Great Pause - Using Covid to Ask Tough Questions](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/monday-musings-002-the-great-pause-using-covid-to-ask-tough-questions) Apr 27, 2020 12:39:41 PM [![Image of Chris Eberhardt](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/hs-fs/hubfs/rounded.png?height=70&name=rounded.png) ###### Chris Eberhardt ](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/author/chris-eberhardt) [Monday Musings](https://writing.chriseberhardt.co/tag/monday-musings) I read a medium article earlier that used this phrase "The Great Pause" to describe the present reality with Covid.  The virus, although it's a clear and undebatable tragedy for so many, is the exhale that everyone said that they were looking for.
