2008 Goals

I think it is important to have goals. Without goals it is hard to measure how things are getting done. I am not always the best at

Here are my first batch of goals for 2008

1. For at least 40 weeks this year blog three days a week.
2. Total Flickr photos posted to 10,000
3. Total Flickr views, 2 million
4. Walk a more than 3,650,000 steps
5. *** **** ** ***** ** (This has to do with a secret)
6. Take a photo every day.

Let me know if you think I should have any more goals.

2008 Travel Goals

I want to focus on traveling on inside of California. There are lots of places in the state that I have not gone yet. I need to start knocking some of these places off this list. I made a list of 20 places that I have not gone before. I hope to go to 10 of these this year. I know lots of these are baseball themed, but I am a baseball fan.

Getty Museum
Santa Clara University Baseball Game
Joe DiMaggio's Grave

2007 Goals

Here are my goals from 2007 and results:

Take a photography everyday (Failed)
Post at least 200 pre-2005 to Flickr (Failed)
200,000 Views of my flickr Photostream (Failed)
Post 2000 photo to flickr (Pass)
Spend the night at 12 places outside of San Jose (Pass)
Use my text messaging more. (Pass)
Use up all 500 of my monthly text messages at least once (Pass)
Blog at least 150 photos. (Pass)
Be open to the changes that come (Pass)
Listen to 120 new albums (Pass)

I got 7 out of 10 passing. I am not sure that is a passing grade because the three hardest are the ones I failed at. I think it is important to keep track of these things.

Blogging goals

My Table
Originally uploaded by earthdog.

I am trying to figure out what realistic blogging goals for 2008 would be. I know that I will not be able to find the time to blog everyday. Between work and relationships, it is just not a good goal to set. I would fall behind and just about give up. That is not really what I want to do.

Should my goal to be to make three posts a week? Should I be looking for posts that will really be worth my time. I should be making posts that say something I want to say.

I will have to figure this one out. I would like to make a goal and meet it for at least 40 weeks next year.

Views on Flickr

Christmas In the Park
Originally uploaded by earthdog.

I am not going to make a total of 200,000 views this year for my flickr account. I have less than 190,000 views right now. I do not see anyway to get a 10,000 view boost this month. I guess I am going to miss that one.

If you want to look at what I think are good photos you should check out my set, "Should Have 100 Views." This is a group of photos that I think are underrated in my flickr stream. Go look and tell me if you agree.

Meaningful Dates

I told a friend about my goal of three meaningful dates in the next year. I told her because I know she is the type of person who likes to connect her friend together. I could see her light up as I started to tell her that. I wonder if it is going to work or not. I know that I have to try tapping my friends. I think that will be my plan until the end of July. After that I will have to try something else.
