The Struggling Blogger

It’s a new year!

2009 is gone, and now 2010 is upon us.

A time for a new beginning. Out with the old, and in with the new. The first days of the year usually is where goals and resolutions are drawn.

But is a goal really necessary? Are resolutions being followed anyway?

Whether they are necessary or not, is really a matter of personal opinion. But they say when you don’t have a goal, you don’t have an aim… therefore you don’t have a focus and wander aimlessly.

Last year, I made some goals at the start of 2009. Some were realistic and some were just based on “wishful thinking.” With a few of them coming true however, is quite a personal achievement for me.

And so I asked myself, “Should I set goals again this year?”

Taking the cue from PinoyAmbisyoso, I am also posting herewith my goals and plans for 2009. And this time, I would like to follow the rules when it comes to setting goals - REALISTIC and SPECIFIC and with that comes a TIME FRAME.

I will post here two sets of goals, first for the month of January 2009 and the second group, for the whole 2009. I may not necessarily post another set for February next month, although I may post updates from time to time.

So here are my goals and plans for January 2009

1) Compose one song - surprised this is the first one on the list? The last time I wrote a song was in 2007. Although none of my songs have ever been recorded commercially

2) Write 3 poems - I am after all a self-proclaimed poet

3) Finish one Papier Tole project - another passion of mine

4) Create, upload and develop the dot com version of The Struggling Blogger - need I say more?

5) Go back to making and selling Chocolate Lollipops and Personalized Chocolate Bars - I need to make a living somehow
