Goal Gameplan

The year is winding down and I'm starting to think about all the business goals I wanted to accomplish but haven't. I came to the realization that the goals I set at the beginning of the year were to "general" or "non-specific", and what I needed to do is to come up with a better goal setting system.

So I took a little time to come up with the following Goal Gameplan:

• I will set realistic, specific, time sensitive goals.
• I will focus on my goals & take action.
• I will stop wasting my day on non-productive activities that take away from achieving my goals
• I will educate myself on topics that will further my goals.
• I will not make excuses for goals I don't achieve. I will try again.
• I will be successful!

Rather that wait until the new year, I'm starting this proccess now, by rewriting all my goals to conform with the Goal Gameplan. With these new goals I will take my business to the next level, and as the last bullet point of the Goal Gameplan states "I will be Successful"!

So.....You're a Social Media Expert.....

While tweeting my days away, I notice a lot of folks who say they are "Social Media Experts". I often ask myself what exactly qualifies one to be labeled as one these so called "experts"?

By my random observations, it appears to go something like this:

1 - Have a circle of "Social Media Expert" friends.

2 - Constantly namedrop said friends at every available opportunity.

3 - Constantly link to articles written by these friends about how great your Social Media skills are and vice-versa.

It reminds me of the book reviews on Amazon where a certain "circle" of writers all give each others books glowing 5 star reviews. Something just doesn't seem right....

Anyways, back to my original question: What exactly qualifies one as a "Social Media Expert"?

Me + Facebook = Zero Productivity

I've pretty much realized the sad fact that if I log on to Facebook at any point during the day, I might as well give up on productivity from that point on. It's not so much Facebook itself, as it is the games and add-ons that I've installed to interact with friends.

Over the past month or so I've gotten down to about 4 add-ons, and while it doesn't sound like a lot, those 4 can take up a mind blowing amount of time. I help friends build their mafias, farm their crops, send them virtual drinks, and so on.

My goal is, by the end of this month to be down to 2 add-ons, refuse to take anymore quizzes or polls, only join causes *I* actually care about, & keep hitting that "ignore" button when asked to join in on the latest game craze! I may have just become the facebook party pooper!

At least now I may just get some stuff done!

And so it begins......

Welcome to my little spot on the interwebs to highlight my lack of writing skills. I'll mostly be posting stuff I find elsewhere on the web that I find interesting, funny, or weird, this way I won't be 100% responsible if the content lets you down.

Also, just so I don't get your hopes too high, posts will be sporadic. I will however tweet when I add a new content so you don't have to take valuable time away from your regularlly scheduled internet addictions. I know, BONUS!
