We’re all Peter Drucker’s bitches.

October 26, 2008 By

God bless Peter Drucker.    (Whatever is measured tends to improve).   And god bless you for reading this stuff.  I’m using my own shorthand for this, not out of fear, but out of unwillingness to explain WTF I’m doing.  

First:  General:

  1. Time Woke Up.
  2. Weight
  3. Calories In
  4. Calories Burned (Excluding Base Metabolic Rate; just use the  #’s provided and a walk = 110/mile)
  5. Cardio Minutes (realizing that there is a big difference in quality in a good vs. bad cardio minute)]  (workout will take 150 minutes with drive/etc.)

(5 things) total commitment:

Goal by EOY: 38# lost:  19/month thru the holidays: 19/4.3 = 4.4 #/week.

Goals here:  measure when I wake up, plot it.   Dreamlife would have me waking up at 5am each day, but I also dig a pot of coffee around 7pm and they aren’t congruent.

Next:  Writing:

  1. MP Done  ~20 minutes
  2. GC Done here:  ~20ish minutes
  3. FT Done  (1 essay/day written till we have ‘em all)  ~40 minutes
  4. SP Words  ~30 minutes minimum
  5. Ghost Blogging Done (2 posts complete)  ~30 minutes when assigned.
  6. Guest Post Written (1xd)   ~30 minutes.

6 Things.   Should take:  170 minutes.   If I get up at 6am, I can be done by 9am. Real goal is more on FT/SP but this is a reasonable & tenable minimum standard.  Sometimes sooner, baby, sometimes sooner.  load= 15hrs/week.  I can also get ahead with this in downtime, I guess.

RRN Marketing Plan (Behaviors + Other)

  1. Blog Post (1xD)/Site Writing.  (25 minutes)
  2. +Project Summaries (as completed) (15 minutes a day)
  3. If my goal is to hit 50k/revenue, I need then to do 2x 2500/week/5k/week.
  4. 15 Contacts (not counting them in seperate categories for now)  90 minutes.
  5. LI Questions (1xd)  5 minutes.

    1. Looking for freelance writers.
  6. Blog Comments (10xD-20 minutes)

    1. Freelance Folder
    2. Freelance Switch
  7. Craig’s list responses: 10xD  (This is mostly to test responses). 30 minutes.
  8. Projects Started
  9. Projects Finished
  10. $ collected.


185 minutes.

RRN Goal By EOY = $56,000 total $$ billed and $20,000 retained.

7-9 committed hours a day.  This is doable.

That’s only 10  things

21 things to track.  That’ manageable.  A bunch are quick.  (LI questions/time woke up/cardio) I think I make a couple of spreadsheets; combining ‘writing’ and general’ & leaving RRN apart from it.
