In December, we took part in a group writing project initiated by Daily Blog Tips about people’s blogging goals for 2008.
Then again, in February, we were wondering how everyone was doing with their goals.
It was nice to see the replies.
Dave from Tailgating Ideas was mentioned in three different newspapers and appeared on a radio show as a guest.
ZParacha had completed some goals regarding guest blogging, and invited us to guest blog. I feel very sheepish for never having replied to that invitation – big apologies, ZParacha! Is the invitation still open?
My friend Jacob from the Job Mob (now there’s a blog where I’ve guested more than once) had increased his RSS readership.
And Thom even wrote his own update.
So … what have we been up to?
Well, guess what happened. All the ones that had a date attached to it – we did them. The ones that didn’t – they fell between the cracks. Now that’ll teach us!
Seriously. Even though we didn’t perform well on this, we have perfect evidence that goals work better when they’re S.M.A.R.T.
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Achievable (and let’s add another A = accountable)
R = Realistic
T = Timelined.
Okay, so here we go. I’ll make a new goal: By August 18, we will post a new “goals” entry with three SMART goals.
How is everyone else doing? Here’s a shoutout to all the others that participated in the group writing project on blogs.
Is there a way we can support each other in reaching our goals?
