December Monthly Goal Meet-Up

by Daniel Hoang on November 30, 2009

I’m going to try to actively participate in Rebecca Thorman’s monthly goal meet-up. It’s a group of bloggers who publish their goals publicly to increase accountability and transparency. Each month, the bloggers post their progress in the prior month’s goals and publish their next month’s goals. Since this is my first post, I’ll start with my goals for December.

In the month of December, and wrapping up 2009 and onto the second decade of the millennium, my goals will center primarily around getting this blog back to life:

  1. Complete design of the blog (header, sidebar elements)
  2. Write two major posts and three minor posts
  3. Integrate my other blogs and social media sites
  4. Exercise at least twice a week (20 minutes minimum)
  5. Develop 2010 annual goals and work plan

If you want to participate in the meetup:

  1. Post a list of your career/life related goals for November, along with your checked off October goals if you’d like, on your own blog.
  2. Come back here and leave a link to your post in the comments at Rebecca’s blog (*If you don’t have your own blog, feel free to share your list here in the comments to join in!)
  3. Then, check out everyone else’s lists as they leave comments – click their links, visit their blogs, say hello, meet, greet and support each other because that’s what it’s all about!

Daniel, I wish you luck with your first public goals on the blog! I know it really helped me to accomplish what I wanted to get done last month. What makes you want to redesign your blog? I really like the typewriter in the banner. I have a picture of a typewriter (http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlee/213429715/) that I took like that and really wanted to use it for my own blog somewhere

Thanks Carlee. Very scary to make it public. I’d like to tinker with the color scheme a bit and edit the header so it blends in. Your typewriter picture is beautiful. Putting that picture will help you meet your goal of using more pictures on your blog.

Daniel, good luck with the web work. I just redesigned my site, and I’ve never been more motivated to produce good writing. Check in with ya in 2010!

Daniel, Goal #5 is a really good idea. To have a whole month thinking about what you want next year (even though only in your backmind to prepare for when you actually sit down to put it on paper) will most probably make the process much easier compared to doing everything in the last two days of 2009. So only by making clear to yourself that you want to do it, will make your mind work on it already. And mine now as well! So thanks for the input. And I will certainly come back here to check your re-design and number of posts goal ;)
