What did you get done in October? What are you aiming to get done in November?

The thread last month helped me a lot. I find a month to be a good length of time to get some significant work done, and the shared accountability helped a lot.

I got all 5 of my 5 goals crossed off - obviously, this month I need to stretch myself more. (Will list my own goals later).

But what are you working on, and how can we help you?

November Goals:

HABITS

1. Keep up daily running
2. Fix sleep cycle, ie, start waking up before 8AM every weekday

BUSINESS

3. Write 2 more articles for the CTO Network blog
4. Launch the new "marketplace" version of the site (even in crappy MVP version)
5. Meet up with 3 outsourcing firms in China for potential partnerships
6. Have Skype calls/meetings with at least 10 potential clients. (Note: of all goals, this is the least in my control. If I have trouble finding clients, I'll start chasing up new marketing channels and cold-emailing more aggressively).
7. At the end of the month, take knowledge gathered from clients, and spend time properly defining how the service will work.

PERSONAL
8. Finish this current freelancing project before flying to China.
9. Plan some fun stuff to do in China ;)

Jesus Christ, I just got one of my major goals. University has taken my time, together with my current (and underpaid) job. It's time to change the game.

I went to a coffee place today to brainstorming and I came up with reasonable and importat goals:

HABITS

1. Keep daily tracking of expenses and time
2. Meditate at least 12x

BUSINESS

1. Put up a personal updated webpage
2. Make the first free work (already got a client in mind)
3. Finish market research for project A
4. Pitch second client in potential
5. Create MVP for project B (this will be the toughest, since I'll have to program everything from scratch, even if it's simple project)

PERSONAL

1. Finish Udacity course
2. Finish reading/practicing Javascript book selected
3. Learn how to use version control

Thanks for doing this again.

Recap of October:

Define my standards for proactivity and train employee on them. (About halfway done. Realizing this is vague.)
3 new accounts. (Got one, but expanded another which I'm happy with. This was imprecise.)
Ship Project A and B which are for two larger clients. (Shipped A in the first part of November. Little progress on B.)
Get my daughter, to whom I am teaching piano, to be able to sight read while staying on meter. (We practiced very little in October, although she has been spending a lot more time practicing reading.)
Give a great talk to some developers at the end of the month. (Had some technical issues but it went well overall. Looking forward to the next one.)
80%+ weekly ratings on RescueTime.com. (52% for October over 115 hours.)

November Goals:

  1. Switch to regular agile development cycle.
  2. Develop intake for support requests; most currently go to my email.
  3. Ship major client projects B and C.
  4. Resume normal family life hours and improve health.
  5. Resume daily exercise.
  6. 70% monthly average on RescueTime.
  7. HabitScore of 45+ on Habitualist.com

A Technological Solution For People Wanting to Read More

Hey Sebastian,

I'm a big fan of your blog, a lot of the techniques you talk about have really helped me improve my productivity over the last month or so. One of your posts that most struck me was the one in which you talked about how to read more. It got me thinking about how I could more easily reorganize my time to make it easier to read. I realized that I spend a lot of time reading every day, just not a lot of time reading books. So to remedy this I threw together a little app which I thought you, and your other readers, might be interested in. The basic premise of the app, which is called onesmallpage, is that it will send you up to 5 pages of a book to your email every day. This helps you use your email reading time to read more books. Anyway I know your inbox must be stuffed, but I thought I would share since the app is partly inspired by your blog post.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

Dan

I think this looks way cool. If anyone tries it out, let me know how well it works?

Divorce the Destination from the Outcome

Kai Davis just sent me this excellent letter -

Sebastian,

I love this tip. I did something similar recently. I set aside some time - not too much, just 45 minutes or an hour - and brainstormed out what I wanted my self-performance review to look like at the end of the year. What are my major objectives:

Make more money?

Meet more friends?
