I myself have so many things in mind for this site alone, it seems that I will not be able to do most of them because of not having enough time. I also wonder which things to do and which ones to ignore forever or for now.

Maybe you can combine a few things to save time: you can eat while on the computer, write about posts in your head or on paper while watching a video or driving when you are the passenger, wake up 10 minutes earlier than usual to write something when you get ready 10 minutes in advance, or maybe you can even sleep 10 minutes later than usual to write things out on a paper. Writing things on a paper can really help type them through a keyboard faster, as you would have already done a lot of thinking through what you wrote on the paper.

Your main blog is very good, and I am surprised you come up with technical posts so quickly! If, for example, you are thinking of having different goals for each of the blogs on your site, I think you can alternate the goals: like have a goal for something specific or a specific blog section of your site for 3 days, and then move on to the next section. Posting in each section can be a goal: you can post to one section every 2 days, and then post in another. Alternating goals or even the same goal through different things or for different purposes can help.

I hope that helps in some way Magnus. If you wish, you can share some of your goals [unless they are top secret, which is awesome! ] and we can see how somethings can be done. Thanks again; I really appreciate you sharing your opinion and thoughts on this. looking forward to hearing from you more.

Thanks for your in depth reply, I really appreciate it.
You have some relly good advice. When I search my mind I start to realize that the main problem is simply that I have not enough time on my hands to fullfil my goals.
I have the will, the knowledge, and the “tools” to realize them. But, as this blog title suggests, its probably a matter of prioritize and focus on a few, most important goals.

Thanks.

I think that’s a good thing, to have goals setup in your thoughts on a regular basis. I am assuming you mean to ask how one can check their progress regarding certain goals, correct? Regarding following up progress on the goals, if I understand your question correctly, there are two ways among many others to find out if your progress is headed in the right direction or not.

You can look at the end result you have in mind with your goal and see if you are headed in that direction. Simply headed in the right direction can be progress, and so can the speed at which you are headed in the right direction. For example, if your goal for the day is to enable RSS feeds on your site in such a way that you get at least 1 RSS subscriber by the end of the day, you can check throughout the day the number of people who are visiting your RSS subscription page or the number of people who are clicking the RSS feed link.

You can also look at your current efforts to see if they are producing any fruit. For example, if you start writing two posts a day and want to increase your daily number comments from 20 to 40, noticing an increase in the number of different people reading your blog after you start writing twice daily is progress. Now you have to figure out how to turn those extra people, who most probably started coming to your site because of the extra daily post, into commentors in order to reach your goal.

Different things and results combine to give the desired results, and if you notice progress in anything as a result of your efforts, I think you are headed in the right track and should keep refocusing your efforts, based on any improvements or even problems you see, in order to get what you are hoping for. How can you run into problems? Say you write two posts daily and that resulted in the number of people reading your blog to go down over a 2 week time period. That means it will become hard to get more comments the way you intended to, and you have to keep trying and see why people are not reading your blog that much and how it could be directly or indirectly related to you writing more than one post a day.

Does that help MagnusJ? I hope I understand your question correctly. Please let me know if you had something else on your mind or if the above helps in any way. Thank you, and I hope to see you around more.

Thanks again for sharing your situation Lynda. I hope to see you round the site more since your comment can clarify things further.
