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.
