Whether they're daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly, everyone has goals they want to reach. Goals are a way of measuring our skill and differentiating between success and failure. I sort of did a half ass New Years Resolution blog and I sort of want to do it justice now.
Now that I live on my own I realize how much I want to accomplish in my spare time. I feel like no matter how much I do in a day I don't really do much towards my overall goals. For instance, I want to be finished Sky's Content before the start of my next term in school. The planning for Sky's Content suggests about 15 more chapters at least. I don't know if you noticed, but it sort of took me 3 years to write the first 15 chapters that are out now! (Well technically 16 if you count 11.5).
Not to mention I also want to write about 3 - 4 web applications I've been planning for a while now. One of them being re-doing EOE so that the system is a lot more automated. I.E. Sign up form that automatically populates the information into a database and then sends an e-mail to Angela and myself to approve.
But at the same time I really want to blog more and make this site to include you guys more. Like I said before, I'm not really sure how many people read my blog on a regular basis. I've been doing this for about 8 months now and I figured that I should really start trying to add to it.
I guess my resolution really is to do more. In 2009 all I did was write about 8 chapters of Sky's Content and set up EOE (sort of badly).
So in short, here is a list of my goals that I have currently set:
- Write at least 1000 words daily until Sky's Content is complete (not including editing days).
- Finish an old video game that I haven't played yet once every two weeks.
- Complete version 1 of at least one of my web applications by the end of this work term.
- Have the site redesigns done by the end of February.
- Blog at least twice a week.
Anymore and I'll tell you guys in future posts. In the meantime I'm off to finish my 1000 words for Sky's Content today. CIAO!
I find its easier to finish goals when you have it written down and stuck somewhere so you'll always see it. I made a list in Oct 2009 and stuck it on my fridge with 38 goals for the next two years. I've already managed to finish 10 in the last 3 months because of the constant reminder on my fridge.
