Resurrecting the Blog: Part 1
Filed under Web
A very happy new year to any and all still RSSing this blog (all six of you). One of my goals this year is to revamp philonoist.net and update the frequency with which I write. I do not believe strongly in New Year’s resolutions – change does not abide by a calendar. But I do believe that January is a good time to take stock in my comittments and desires, and realign my life accordingly.
Having a blog has always been a priority to me, albeit not a very high one. The concept of an unedited, unpoliced space is quite appealing. But my work with Philonoist.net ebbs and flows; I took quite some time off from the blog in 2008. In reading This Year I Will…, M.J. Ryan’s fantastic compendium of tips, tricks, and advice, I rediscovered S.M.A.R.T. goals. Thus, I present one of my goals of 2009.
S – Update philonoist.net with an originial article 3 days a week.
M – Absolutely. It’s trivial to check the article count for a week.
A – The goal is certainly attainable. One early step is to create a list of topic ideas, since part of my problem is finding relevant topics.
R – I definitely can set aside 15-20 minutes three times a week.
T – The goal is valid for the whole year.

3x per week is a lot. And can you really do it in 15-20 minutes?
I’ve clacked off this year with my blog, too, and I am trying to think if once per week is realistic.
