Goals – Weekly roundup (#2017-03)

The PolyBlog
January 23 2017

Some highlights from the last week:

  1. Reading – Fiction: 10 books: Finished Cassandra Clare’s City of Ashes and Jeff Lindsey’s Darkly Dreaming Dexter;
  2. Reviews (Books): Posted two new book reviews (old reads, new reviews);
  3. Reviews (TV): 5 new reviews;
  4. Organize: Fixed ebook setup, including backup of all Amazon downloads;
  5. Cyber: Completed 1 backup of docs and pictures;
  6. Writing (new, other): 3 new posts (not including book reviews, quotes, etc.) takes me to 22, passing the goal of 20 — LEVEL ONE GOAL ACHIEVED;
  7. Baking: I’ve been testing various setups with the bread machine, and FINALLY achieved a decent loaf this weekend!;
  8. Career: Organized, moving ahead with studying for written;
  9. Health maintenance: I completed my sedation dentistry appointment (Fun with the dentist…) — LEVEL ONE GOAL ACHIEVED;

Looks like I’m going to have to start thinking about my Level 2 goals sooner than I thought…four of the 29 are already achieved, and some of the others are ones I can’t complete until much later in the year (one will take until June at the earliest).

Goals for 2017 – Nudging the needle

The PolyBlog
January 4 2017

I have already posted my analysis of 2016 (2016 – Progress on my red goals) and how I struggled through some of the year with health issues and getting my sleep “fixed”. I don’t know that I’m all the way there yet, but it’s an improvement. I’m also going to try something new with my goal-setting this year — combining nudging behaviour with the idea of “levels of success”. First and foremost, I don’t think I can be as ambitious as I normally am. I have a lot of goals, that’s true, but the sad reality is that I barely … Continue reading →

  • Deadlines, dominoes, and delaysJanuary 30, 2023
    As most people who have read this blog from time to time already know, I’m big on time management techniques, various options for to-do lists and tracking tasks. I like to set ambitious annual goals, and then monitor them throughout the year. Some years turn out better than others. Whereas many people set resolutions and … Continue reading →
  • Curated: We Need To Talk About Professional Jealousy – Electric LiteratureJanuary 20, 2023
    I occasionally like to share online articles that I like, and you’ll see sporadic posts entitled “Articles I Like” throughout the blog. But honestly, Curated is probably a more accurate title. I recently found an article by Benjamin Schaefer on the website Electric Literature, although I was led there by ThePassiveVoice website. The article is … Continue reading →
  • Schrodinger’s computer purge (part 1 / 3)January 15, 2023
    So, I’m a techno-wannabe-geek with elements of hoarding in my DNA. I find it hard to dispose of working computer parts, long after I’ve outgrown the need for them. Some “saves” are practical and some are not. And like Schrodinger’s cat, my computer purge is both real and theoretical at the same time. A. Network … Continue reading →
  • Some more reading ideas…January 15, 2023
    Chapters/Indigo has their Reading Challenge for the year too. They do it up like a bingo card, but the headings are: I’ll have to go through some of the links to see if there’s anything I want to add to my long list. 🙂
  • 11 years, a gig platform, and a chequeJanuary 13, 2023
    Somewhere in this universe, if life after death exists, my father is rolling over in his grave. Or rolling his eyes, shrugging his shoulders, throwing up his hands…whatever the ghosts do when they see their descendants doing stuff that they think is ridiculous. And it is NOT my father’s fault. Let me be clear. He … Continue reading →
