Review week 34-2008; Goals, blog and productivity habits

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?

I just noticed that I totally missed last week’s update. That was unintentional, but most likely a side effect of working hard on achieving goals. And there’s big news today!

Blog performance

Average daily subscribers:	1075	( 3)
Average daily visitors:	394	( 207)

I’ve moved hosts this week. The process was pretty smooth, although there were some setbacks. I expected setbacks, but there’s no way to tell which will occur Turned out to be that my old host has quite a few procedures in place that make it pretty tiresome to move hosts. I don’t like such a policy, and I persisted. I asked this already in my announcement, but should you notice any glitches in the blog: please let me know!

Subscriber numbers are steady, although I’ve seen a sharp decline in the last two days. That may have to do with moving hosts, I’ll have to check on that one. Visitors increased by over 100%, mainly due to StumbleUpon success of Productivity Secrets.

Progress towards goals

This is where the big news is…wait, let me format this appropriately:

The Renovation Project is done!

Over with, schluss, finito! I’m writing this blog post from the same desk, the same computer, but in a new office. Yihaa! It was truly a victorious moment, and my wife, my son and me celebrated it by dancing and acting crazy last Friday evening, just after the carpet was on the floor. It was a lot of fun! I seriously think my not-even-two-year-old has a liking for Pearl Jam, Nirvana and the likes. He was rocking like a biker

Of course there are the odd little jobs to do, but my goal was to have it renovated and operational as an office. And that my friends, has been achieved.

Renovation Project
Status:
Overdue, since 02/2008 FINISHED!
Progress this week:
I didn’t even have to do anything to get it done. The carpeting was done by someone else. And after that it was only moving in stuff (which I’m still doing by the way).
Planning next week:
Nothing. Whahahahaha.

Semi Marathon training
Status:
No longer on schedule, but active. Deadline is October 12, 2008.
Progress this week:
After a long time of no running, I ran one 4.25 kilometer run this week. It was a good run, better than I had expected actually.
Planning next week:
At least three runs. I’m going to follow the myASICS.com training schedule as close as I can. At least, if I understand what they mean! Some of those training runs are complicated!

Productivity Habits - weekly review

I’m still loving my Todoodlists. They’re supposed to last two weeks, but I finished the first set in 10 days and the second in just a week. They’re a lot of fun to make and very intuitive to use. I think I’ll be using this for a long time!
