Setting goals.

As I do not have a ton to talk about reference any craziness happening, how about we talk about goals...Do you set goals? Some people shudder at the very thought, for that takes some planning and thinking. But really, you can set short term goals and that is not hard at all. For example, you have a notepad set out and write what you want to accomplish for the day. For the sake of argument, let's talk about online stuff. So today is Sunday. My list consists of making a blog post, surfing some traffic exchanges and searching for some new smileys for the forum. Once that list is done, I can then move on to my more lofty goals of site development. I guess the point of making a list of goals is so that you are not spinning aimlessly about wasting time. It also gives you a sense of accomplishment to complete your goals. Long term goals are a little trickier as you DO have to spend a little time figuring out what you hope to accomplish. Not that that is a bad thing, it is just a skill that many people do not have. Try spending just a bit of time with a pen and pad. You might find it helpful in planning your tasks, both today's and ones for the future.

Ok, so enough of that. I am still doing the marketing stuff, just being very picky. I'd like to stop hopping from thing to thing...for the most part I have been successful. I have learned that it takes a lot of energy to do that with little reward. The way to have success online seems to be in developing sites that offer interesting information or product. So yeah, that is a long term goal. Still seeing some interesting sites from time to time. There are some pretty creative people out there. I am MORE than impressed with Sweeva. Those guys are pretty darn innovative. If you have not stopped by and looked at it, please do. Very nice.

Well, off to do some offline stuff. The weekend seems to fly by. Need to spend a bit of time with the dogs outside as the weather has finally cooled off. They would love to play a little fetch. Course last time we did, my boy dog peed on the ball we were tossing about. One has to wonder what the heck they are thinking sometimes. Does he really think I am going to be excited about throwing that around now???
