On Sundays I’m looking back on the past week. How did I perform towards my goals? How did my blog do? And how am I keeping up with my productivity habits?
Six Weeks. I told you last week it would be six weeks between my last and next weekly review. So here it is:
Blog performance
| Average daily subscribers: | 1061 | ( 13) |
| Average daily visitors: | 190 | ( 31) |
These stats are compared to the stats from six weeks ago. And for six weeks of virtually no new content, that’s not too bad in my opinion. Thanks for sticking around people! New free content is coming. It may still be not as much as you were used to, because I’m still working on finishing the renovation project. But that’s really coming to a successful finish this month, after which I have seriously simplified my life. The amount of topics in need of my attention will have dropped tremendously by then.
Progress towards goals
Interestingly, there was no goal for writing an e-book. Yet I finished that in the past six weeks. I guess some things are hard to plan. I did not plan to write an e-book, yet the time to write it was right. And it was too powerful a feeling to let it pass unfulfilled.
I had major progress on the renovation project. But as I already told you last week, I cut down on all other activitities that weren’t contributing to either the renovation or the e-book. So there’s no progress on the marathon goal, which makes it increasingly challenging (but not impossible!).
Renovation Project
Status:
Overdue, since 02/2008.
Progress this week:
Very strong progress. Currently working on the last big project: installing/modifying the central heating. That’s a job I’m quite inexperienced in, so it takes longer than the other jobs. And even though I planned and spent a whole day preparing it and getting all the material, I came short in supply after all.
Planning next week:
Finish heating system. Paint, sand, paint.
Semi Marathon training
Status:
On hold, no longer on schedule. Deadline is October 12, 2008.
Progress this week:
Nothing.
Planning next week:
Nothing.
Productivity Habits - weekly review
In my spare time I’m reading the e-book Todoodlist (will review it this week) and re-reading Zen To Done. I’m still on a paper system, and the ideas in Todoodlist are very much aligned with a paper attitude. And Zen To Done simply is a great book with many valuable ideas, many of which I haven’t adopted yet.
