Before I get to my 2012 goals, let's see how we did with my 2011 goals:
Reading Goals
Read 85 Books (One more than 2011)
OR
Read over 30,000 pages
I will reach BOTH goals if all of my books have, on average, 353 pages
Textbooks do NOT count. This must be reading for pleasure
Didn't make this goal. Came close, though!
Blog Goals
Post regularly (Strive for 27 posts a month) and with GOOD material (No fluff posts to boost my post-count) With the exception of October, I think I did pretty good here.
Host at least 1 contest a month (including the occasional international contest) Again, with the exception of October, check!
Write reviews no later than 48 hours after finishing a book. Oh fail.
Have at least 12 author interviews (excluding special events) Double fail.
Have at least 12 guest posts (excluding special events) Triple fail.
Host [and participate] in a read-a-thon Double success! I did this twice!
2012 Goals:
Reading Goals:
Blog Goals:
Learn different ways of following for when GFC becomes obsolete
Consider installing a new comment system
Create a more detailed review policy
Create a privacy policy
Create a contest policy
Post at least 2-3 times a week
Have all possible contests be open internationally (I found a friend willing to sponsor all my international giveaways! Thanks L*!)
Host another multi-blog massive giveaway (anyone interested?)
Host another read-a-thon
Write reviews within 1 week of reading the book (48 hours didn't do it for me last year, so maybe 1 week?)
Blogger Goals:
CLEAN OUT GOOGLE READER (does anyone know how to make blogs you follow go away without going to EVERY SINGLE blog? I keep clicking "Unsubscribe" and they keep coming back! They're like zombies!). I'm tired of following 5,000 blogs and never having time to read them.
COMMENT MORE. Comment on at least 3 blogs a week.
Personal Goals:
Write in journal at least once a week. I've always been terrible at this.
Go on a date. How sad am I that I have to have this as a goal? I have guys who are friends, but struggle with the whole formal dating thing.
Go to gym three times a month. I have a membership. Might as well use it.
Move into new apartment/condo. It's time for a change.
Consider doing private tutoring math over the summer/next fall. I've always wanted to do this, but always thought I haven't had the time. One of my jobs is closing this summer, so it's time for something new.
Go to sleep before midnight! I'm a natural night-owl, but staying up until 2-3 makes it so I fall asleep at the slightest provocation during the day. It's true. Ask anyone who knows me in real life.
I think that'll do for now!
