Motivation is a funny thing. Some days I have it, some days I don’t. I’m not even particularly sure what motivates me 97% of the time. One thing I’m starting to learn is that I can’t do everything. I’m not Superman. There’s clearly a correlation between time spent on working toward a goal and the [...]

May has run it’s course so it’s time once again for the goal update. I was slack throughout May. Very slack. So slack that I didn’t actually do an update for April. The last couple of months have been hectic and I feel kind of like a circus clown juggling 80 chainsaws. Goal Number One: [...]

March flew by quicker than Superman during sexy time. This months goal update is fairly brief seeing as though I struggled to get it done on schedule, so here t’is. Goal Number One: Develop Swollen Pickles into a website that can generate $350US per month. Slight improvement here in relation to the past couple of [...]

When February rolls around it always occurs to me that there is a flaw in my goal tracking. Obviously February is the shortest month of the year, in 2009 February had three fewer days than January. Therefore, it doesn’t quite seem fair to compare February’s results with those of January. None the less, that’s what [...]

When I sat down to contemplate what goals I’d set for the 2009 calendar year, I realised that I’d been going with the goal setting thing for two years now. I’ve read that when you are setting goals, well balanced goals equal a well balanced life. Where as in previous years I’ve spread my focus [...]

As the door closes on 2008, it also close on another 12 months of the Swollen Pickles goal project. It’s been a big year, with some decent gains made in some areas, and some disappointments in others. Join me, as I take a look at how I went in December 2008. 1. Develop Swollen Pickles [...]

November is traditionally a very busy month for me, and 2008 was no exception. I say this, because basically I spent very little time on any of my websites, so I guess I should be grateful that they made anything at all! Enough of the rambling, the goal project keeps on keeping on… 1. Develop [...]

Time for the goal update again. A little later this month because I was waiting for a couple of figures to finalise. In any case, it was a sad and sorry month for SwollenPickles.com, but a record month in terms of my total overall earnings. Go figure! 1. Develop Swollen Pickles into a website that [...]

Apparently the world is in financial crisis. Banking fat cats have paid themselves billions in bonuses while running organizations into the ground, the cheesiest banking jokes known to human kind have done the rounds, yet still Swollen Pickles managed to pick up the ball that it’d dropped in July/August… well almost. 1. Develop Swollen Pickles [...]

Well the goal project continues to roll on, and if you read July’s update that figures were down across the board. Unfortunately this trend continued into August. One thing I can say is that this trend mirrors the same time last year to a certain extent, which is interesting. Perhaps it’s seasonal? 1. Develop Swollen [...]

Well July 2008 came to an end all too quickly. Not exactly sure where the month went, but what I know is that in terms of the goal project, it was a month of ups and downs. I also had to spend a lazy afternoon revising my excel spreadsheet so I can keep a better [...]
