Focus For Today

Tuesday, December 2, 2008 - 0 Comments

Keep It Simple

Remembering my own motto is important, so I will start or end a lot of my posts with the motto just to help keep the focus. Too much work on a "to do" list can take away from the ability to focus well on any one project to complete it to the best of a person's ability. Good work with fewer projects reaching completion is a better way to go.

That said, here is my focus list for today. Please send me your "to do" lists and a paragraph or two about how you construct your list and your success at completing projects with this method. I will feature your article and method along with providing two quality links back to your profile, your blog or one of your feature articles within your blog.

Email themidnightwriter1@gmail.com with your information or to know more about this project.

I am anxious to feature YOU and Your techniques right here on Blog Day Planner.


Help me build a fantastic "to do" style list for bloggers and freelancers.





Here is my list for today. I'm starting at 8:21 pm. Keeping in mind that I need to catch a bus at 9:50 pm so this will be kept short tonight. No worries, I'll be back tomorrow right here.



1. Write an update post on Blog Day Planner. Focus Sheet for Today.


2. Write a post on The Midnight Writer's Blogs. Load all links for today's articles.


3. Sign up for Entrecard for The Midnight Writer's Blogs and load the widget.


4. Write a post on The Midnight Writer's Journal. Thank my Entrecard visitors.


5. Write focus sheet for the next week on Blog Day Planner, ending with Sunday, December 7, 2008.


6. Write two text articles for Text Broker.


7. Check Scriptlance to find out if my client responded with the next phase of my task.


I found a website that writes focus lists like I do, so I wanted to share it here. Visit 24 Daily Habits for some great self motivational tips for life and blogging.

Increase Blog Performance

Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 0 Comments





As noted in my focus sheet for November, I/you need to increase blog performance. This is an intentional act, not a passive one as I have learned in November. I allowed other events to hinder this blog’s progress. Now that is not a failure, rather it is a learning point.

How did you do in this intention for November?



Did you meet your daily or weekly blog posting goals?


What are your plans for this month?


Post your feedback right here, on Blog Day Planner, and please remember to include a link back to one of your blogs or articles or one of your websites.



And please give Blog Day Planner a link back from your blog. The most frequent comments with links back to my site will receive a feature spot in the sidebar of this blog for an entire month. This contest will feature ten winners.



What should I do this month?


Reset the intention to increase blog performance.

What does that mean exactly, when I say “increase blog performance”?

Wow! November 2 Already!!!

Sunday, November 2, 2008 - 0 Comments

How did that happen? October slipped past me and I went 11 days without posting on here! That is an absolute "no-no" if I am to keep this blog up to date and up to speed. Qualification for most sponsored blogs requires 8 posts per month, two per week being preferable.
For all of you new readers out there, this blog is not about "this blog" or "my blog". It is about you and all the bloggers out there who are striving to understand this blogging explosion on the internet and how it applies to You and your writing or blogging adventures.


First step in the focus and priority sheet on today's Day Planner will be to improve this blog's activity. I'm setting the goal for a minimum of two posts per week, though the ideal for a blog of this nature is to write a post every day. Let's call this "setting an intention" for blog performance.


The Plans for November 2008 on Blog Day Planner.


1. Set an Intention.
2. Increase Blog Performance.
3. Meet Minimum Professional Posting Requirements.
4. Keep It Active and Informative.
5. Keep It Simple, but Thorough.
6. Update Blog Daily.
7. Follow Up Weekly, then Monthly.

Today's Focus Sheet


Follow Up- --Study this blog, take notes on items listed, plans, intentions and projects.
-Make a list or outline the various items/projects.
-Assess whether tasks or projects are completed.
-Review tasks and projects for quality and promptness.
- Did this planner inspire me to finish the task or project? If so, how?
There is the formula. Now to put it into action.

This will become a weekly assessment of the follow through and success of daily planning. I will review the lists, plans, intentions contained within this blog on a day per day and then a weekly and monthly basis to assess the success of the method and its implementation. In this section, I will share thoughts and ideas on what I believe worked and why along with proposals on how to conduct better planning and incentives.

This is where your ideas are important as well. Post your comments about this whole concept of follow up on setting intentions and blog planning. I am asking for your suggestions which will be taken into consideration on this whole process.

The idea of group mind is effective. Let's experiment with that concept right here on Blog Day Planner.


Cephas and I want to add a little fun and interaction to our blogs. Coming up with ideas is not a challenge. Deciding which ideas to implement, how to present those ideas, and on which blogs to use them is the challenging part.



Here is one idea that we thought would be fun to implement as a test run of the whole concept of special blog interaction special features.

For those who read our blogs, you know that we travel extensively. Due to our travels, we thought it would be fun to feature a "Where are we now?" and let our readers enter locations based on clues of our whereabouts. It's kind of like "Where's Waldo?"



Anyway, I am into feedback on this one. Give me a few days to develop this idea then I'll post the complete information and instructions on how to play "Where are we now?"

And why should this matter to you? Why would you want to play this game?

Because it will be chock full of goodies and blogging awards, like cool blog awards and reciprocal links, some free advertising on our sites. You get the idea.

Remember, it's all about you, and your ranking in the blogosphere in the wide world of cyber action.

If you are interested in playing the game, yet to be named, leave a comment below or email themidnightwriter1@gmail.com.
