My productivity lately hasn’t been what I would like it to be, so I’ve set myself up with some weekly goals. These are things I haven’t gotten anywhere near achieving lately.

I chose weekly because, let’s face it, daily is too subject to stuff happening, and monthly it becomes too easy to become discouraged or kick back until it’s too late to accomplish everything. Weekly seems like a good compromise.

I set my goals high because I would love to get my income climbing. I’m at a good level, considering that I’m earning more than my husband, but I know I can do much, much more. If I find that I’m acheiving the goals too easily, I can raise them. If they’re too hard after several weeks of trying, I can adjust them.

Doing this has motivated me already to get going on some solid link building, which I’ve been neglecting lately. I did this weeks’ allotment tonight and made a note of where I stopped. Link building is probably my least favorite activity, but with a regular goal it becomes easier to face. Much better than just sitting down for a few hours once every month or two trying to make up for what I should have been doing all along.

Content creation is generally easier, although there’s always the chance of writer’s block. Of course, with the range of sites I have, there’s always a new topic to consider if I just can’t write on one site or another.
