goals and time-management

September 14, 2006 by Susanne 20 Comments

I became a member of yet another group of bloggers. This time it’s a group called blogjolt that is focusing on mothers who work at home. Each Thursday a member’s blog gets ‘blogjolted’ by being linked to. SAdly I’ve been a member of blogjolt for weeks without blogjolting anyone.

This Thursday’s blog to be jolted is written by Jill Koenig. On her goalblog she offers advice on goal setting and time-management for super-achievers. While I’m still lacking in the time-management department, I never thought that I might lack goal-setting skills. I always thought, my problem lay in the gap between the setting of the goal and the achievement of the goal.

Maybe I should subscribe to her newsletter and profit from her free advice on time-management. (Sadly, there is no permalink, just go to her blog.)

The other blog to be jolted looks really nice. Unlike most of the jolted blogs it’s not a business blog either, but one of the personal mommyblogs that I like best. BlondeMom’s question “Do you ever take your kids in on your day off?” was a no-brainer for me.
Of course! I’m waiting for that all week! Time for me! Time for music! Time to do the grocery shopping. And my son loves kindergarten. (Actually he started crying, when we told him he couldn’t go due to his cold. “But I don’t have fever, I don’t have fever. I can’t have fever, because then I can’t go to kindergarten!”)

    Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it makes me feel less guilty to know that lots of moms need some rare “me” time. Even going to the grocery store alone can be a luxury!

    Hi Susanne,

    Thank you for the mention. Yes, that’s where most people get stuck, but with a little tweaking and adjusting, we will ultimately reach our goals! I think your blog is SUPER!

    Wow. I wouldn’t say weird.

    Beautiful.

    I want to listen again.

    I want to run over to your house and see you. I am excited and energized.

    I listened to all of it, and may listen again. You are right, it is weird, in a wonderfully beautiful way. Thank you for that.

    It’s wonderful, actually. I just sent this along to Joe because he’s an improvising musician with a jazz background. He’d love it!

    Back to listen again.

    I wouldn’t use the word “weird” at all. I liked it. 🙂

    I’m dying to hear this, but am afraid something will happen to me if I click on that (at work. In a government building, hello big brother).

    How did you get that on there like that?

    Thank you all for your positive feedback. It’s much appreciated.

    KC, to put something like this up you need space on a web server and a tutorial you can find at:

    http://www.macloo.com/examples/audio_player/

    The MP3-player is a wordpress plugin. You can find that through the tutorial as well.
