July, August, September: have you really gone so quickly hither? I hardly knew Summer before it had colored itself with Autumn’s crayons! Oh well… Let’s see where we landed goals-wise: Write at least three hours per week. Getting better, almost back to “peak” output…? August and September were clearly the strongest so far this year. […]
April through June: gone as quick as they came. Shall we check in on the goals I set for myself? I think we shall. Write at least three hours per week. To echo my sentiments from last quarter: not a banner year. I have hardly scratched out a few incoherent words let alone incoherent sentences. […]

January through March, come and gone. Where did I land for the goals I’d set for myself for 2009? Well, it’s been kind of a mixed bag. But mostly a bag with a big hole in the bottom. Write at least three hours per week. This is not going to be a banner year for […]

Though perhaps a bit early for my quarterly reflection on those personal goals, I feel like getting it off my chest: things are not moving along at last year’s speedy clip. I’ve scarcely written 1, I’m only on book #3 for the year, and progress on Ortho is slow at best – many fits and […]
A little late in posting (compared to last year) but worth posting for the full disclosure aspect of it all. (Plus Mike said he wanted to see them.) As before, they’re like New Year’s Resolutions except measurable and realistic &c. and not vague. It’s the vagueness that’s cause for so much failure and abandonment, I […]
2008 was the second year that we tracked some SMART goals here at F_D for its humble narrator. Our accomplishments during 2007 were excellent overall, so we decided to repeat the experiment. We mixed it up a bit for 2008, tweaking the individual goals, adding some new ones, removing other irrelevant ones… And 2008 mixed […]
Wrapping up Q3 of ’08 1… The results are in for my personal goals for 2008: See also: Q1 and Q2 results.[↩]
With the second quarter of ’08 now closed, we should check in on our progress for those personal goals stated back in January. At the end of Q1, we were doing pretty well with with writing, reading, and climbing even though walking/running were not up to par (and hiking hadn’t been touched at all). Overall […]
