Year of Months // February: A Month of Listening -or- 28 people worth listening to » A Month of Accomplishment http://www.yearofmonths.com Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:38:52 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 A month of accomplishment http://www.yearofmonths.com/2009/10/02/a-month-of-accomplishment/ http://www.yearofmonths.com/2009/10/02/a-month-of-accomplishment/#comments Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:38:52 +0000 Nathan Clark http://www.yearofmonths.com/?p=353 Obviously every month’s project is designed in the hope that I successfully accomplish some goals. In face, part of the idea behind a year of month-long projects is that this would be a framework that help with achievement.

This month I’m going to apply that framework to a project I have going on that’s designed to generally increase people’s accomplishment. A friend and I are developing a small website that lets people share immediate goals, encourage others and get advice on how to achieve those goals.

By Halloween we’ll have the site up (in beta) and running, and I’ll track development process along the way.

While I work through this month of accomplishment, I’m going to run a secondary month-long project. In order to make sure that accomplishment doesn’t come at the expense of my family (which is always a risk give time is the ultimate zero-sum game) my kids and I are spending the whole month on a project for my wife. Jenn’s birthday is October 1, so we celebrated her birthday in typical style with presents and celebration. But this October, we’re going to keep celebrating giving her a birth-month party.

So this month it’s accomplishing a website to help with goal accomplishment, and a present a day for my wife. The best part of this month? If this month goes to plan I’ll have a happy wife and a great website to usher in Whiskerino on November 1.
