February March Goal Review

The 20s keep giving and giving. Birthday month misses on goals, invasions of Ukraine, jeezus. What is a guy supposed to write?

Sigh. Maybe we can get back on track what we can control.

February Goal Review

1. Gunslinger Marketing Plan
   1. Won! After much research, there are only 4 options: Do it yourself; Hire it out; Get a publisher; Wait for having a critical mass of product or service (3-4 minimum). After careful consideration, I will be going for the latter – polish a bunch of projects into products, then airhorn all the goodies by hiring out the marketing process 🙂
2. 4 Gunslinger Improvements
   1. Won! Edits taken care of, art board made, and – replacing the blind reviews – I bought Affinity Publisher that allows me to make the game “pretty!” 😃 The layout needs some help though, so this will carry over to March…
3. Blog SEO Improvements
   1. Failed. Inconclusive results from updating my tags, meta descriptions, and other tidbits about this website. I did get some organic pings while I was making the updates, but those fell off once the work was complete. Oh well 🤷‍♂️
4. Private Ambition
   1. Failed. Only got about half of some 16-points I wanted to accomplish. Pretty lame. Also demoralizing. So I pivot come March!
5. (Bonus) 30 Minutes Social Media Daily
   1. Failed. But we won’t hold this bonus against the total 😉 Only sporadic posts made for a pretty lame outcome for this bonus! Yet frequent posting is a great boon for traffic, so I must keep this goal in my back pocket.

March Goal Proposal

1. Settle In
   1. Getting a change of scenery, so 1) close up old places, and 2) settle into new digs. (This is a goal that is ‘given’, though still helps track that my attentions will be divided in March.)
2. 10 Write-Ahead Blogs
   1. Get some extra blogs together. Did this back in December, though held myself to a different standard. This time, I will count 10 blogs – whether they are typical (like this goal post) or unique, they will count towards this goal this time 🙂
      1. Your thoughts: What would you like to see more of? BITS and RPG design, or work and finance takeaways? 🤔
3. 4 More Gunslinger Improvements
   1. Seeing a finish line in another month if I can work on this RPG 🤞 Improvements: seek and implement layout help, make pre-generated characters, formalize future additions (things I will not work on now), and get 4 alpha reviews (in plain text or in a fancy layout, either works).
4. Travel Experience
   1. Spying back up to goal #1, I am holding myself to get out / experience 4 new things a week in March. Life is too short to take for granted – I better not let me down in this!

50% completion? Yuck! Have to do better than that in March. But does it even matter?

Screw it. I will accomplish all that is within my power, contribute elsewhere where I can. Cheers.
