Weekly Review – Jan 5th 2008
Sometimes you just know when you’ve done something right, and it feels good.
Publicly setting my 2008 goals achieved a great comment from Mikey (I didn’t even know anyone was reading this yet – thanks Mike).
Then just this morning I read this on Lazy Owner:
“The goals that you set should drive everything that you do. In fact, if there isn’t an associated goal with the task, I don’t think you should even do the activity….
…. Everything I do is driven by goals. I have dozens of goals and most of them are just sub-goals to help me achieve higher level goals. I go through them every Friday to track how I’m doing and possibly add some more goals.”
That sounds great to me. What’s the point in having goals if we don’t track our progress towards them? So starting today, I’m going to complete a weekly review of any work completed towards achieving my goals.
On a semi regularly basis (monthly?) I will review the goals themselves, to see if they need updating.
Work completed this week:
- Jetfar. Starting this blog is a solid step towards starting a business, and achieving all of the goals.
- Privacy Policy – I recycled and reviewed one from a previous project.
- Sector breakdown; I sat down last night and drafted a sector breakdown. You can’t see it yet – it’s still in draft.
- **edit: I also identified a great wordpress contact plugin
Am going to have to set myself a recurring reminder to do this every Friday.
