I set myself a goal this year of writing more everyday. My goal was to write at least one blog for each of my WordPress channels everyday. I also wanted to get back to journaling everyday.

At the time I was not journaling at all and I wasn’t even getting a devotional video made everyday. I hadn’t written beyond devotional material connected to my weekly sermons for months; so the goal was definitely audacious.

I have not made the goal I set on January 1. In fact in January I did not make much headway at all. I may have had a few days during the month where I got two blogs done on the same day. I maybe journaled four times. February was much the same. March was a little better. April fell apart completely around Easter.

Now it is May. Something has changed….some things have changed. I am doing better. Several times a week I am spending time in writing sessions where I am completing multiple projects for the coming week. I am journaling once a week now.

My current goals have changed. I am no longer trying to write everyday. I write on Mondays (that has been my service writing day for years). Now I am just elongating the writing time and I am trying not to do other things on this main writing day beyond the obligatory house chores.

I am journaling once a week during my time at TWR on Monday evenings. I am having mini writing sessions before my Jesus 45 meetings at 6 A.M. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I am trying to spend an hour a day writing on Thursdays and Fridays.

This is where I am for the moment. It’s not producing the results I want yet but it is a beginning and what I know about myself is that big audacious goals are best arrived at in steps. I should have been intentional about the step up process from the beginning.
