My goal for 2011…

Posted on Jan 1, 2011 in General

Is to blog every day. Yup, that’s 365 blog posts.

I know it won’t be easy, but it’s something I’ve thought about doing when I first created this blog and ever since I lost a blogging challenge of who could blog the most to Jeff Hilimire (Wonder if he’s up to the challenge of blogging 365 times this year? ;) )

If you already read my blog, I hope you’ll encourage me with comments, tweets,  likes, and reminders of this goal along the way. Because I obviously can’t depend on my iPhone alarm to be a reminder. And if you’d like to share suggestions for blog topics, that would be great too.

One thing I’ve learned about setting goals, is to dream big. From past experience, setting big goals has pushed me to new limits and increased my level of creativity and productivity. One of my favorite quotes is from former college football coach Lou Holtz who said, “If you’re bored with life…you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things…you don’t have enough goals.”

Here’s to a great 2011! :)

Blog #1 of 365.

    Hm, that’s a tough challenge. So we’re going to measure # of posts, not that we have to do one each day, right? So if you miss a day but post 2 the next day, that counts as 2, not 1, correct?

    If so, challenge accepted.

    Yup, I’m going by # of posts. I’m going to strive for one post each day, but realize that might be tough with weekends and holidays. So, 2 posts in one day would be acceptable.

    To help keep me on track, I’m posting a counter under each of my posts (i.e., Blog #1 of 365).

    Josh! Just a note of encouragement on the post aday blog challenge. You probably wouldn’t like it up here. Cell phones don’t work. Snowed in is normal. GO!

    Thanks for the comment! Wow, I wouldn’t know what to do with all that snow!
