Many moons ago, I authored a post titled The 2018 Roadmap For This Human. It was supposed to be me putting to practice the principle of writing down your goals if you really want to achieve them. It was a big deal. I mean, it's going to remain on the blockchain forever! What if I didn't end up meeting the targets? Well, it was the new year, everyone was in high spirits so I damned the consequences and went ahead to publish it.
In a few weeks, the first quarter of the year would be over and I ideally should have waited till then to do a review but I believe doing it now will help keep me on my toes instead of slacking and missing targets.
Here's what I said at the start of the year;
Q1:
Create and stick to a writing schedule.
Curate and encourage quality content.
Evolvefully into a community run account.
Launch something on Steem.
Celebrate my birthday ;)
How Well Have I Done? 🤔
- Create And Stick To A Writing Schedule.
I think the only writing schedule I have created thus far is to make sure that I publish a post every day. That is definitely not what I had in mind when I wrote down this point in January but at least I did something yeah? I might not have gotten subjects for each day of the week but I have stuck to a different form of the same thing. I'm probably being partial here and giving myself too much praise 😏. Moving on...
- Curate And Encourage Quality Content.
Err... Encourage quality content? Well, I've been curating content but have I been encouraging quality? I think I have been doing that. I have come to understand that the task of the curator might be the most difficult task here on Steem but somebody has to do it lol. So clearly, encouraging quality content goes beyond rewarding those who already try to uphold the standards to also getting more people to join the ranks of quality content creators. 🤔
This is in motion already, although not in full gear yet. We now have editors and writers in charge of creating content for the blog. We haven't even scratched the surface with this as there's so much more that can be done in this space. Anyone with ideas is free to hop into our secret bunker.
- Launch something on Steem.
For this one, there's nothing. Sadly. Or should I say there's nothing YET! Or maybe there's something coming very soon and it's got the power to make you super excited. Either way, there's nothing much to talk about here. Moving on... 🚶
- Celebrate my birthday ;)
Damn it bruh, you're old! 🙆🏽♂️
Conclusion
So the truth is, writing down your goals/plans in places where you'd be able to always refer back to is way better than (or more efficient than) having it all in your head. I mean, when you eventually become an old man like me, you'll realise there's only so much that box on your neck can hold and recollect at every time.
That will be all for today! 😁
