On Sundays I’m looking back on the past week. How did I perform towards my goals? How did my blog do? And how am I keeping up with my Getting Things Done system and Zen to Done habits?
Blog performance
Wow, this was a great week! As a lot of you may have noticed already, subscriber numbers have surged this week, even rising above 800. And there were a lot of visitors too! This was due to my guest post at Zen Habits of course, but also due to the fact that two of my articles did very well on StumbleUpon.
StumbleUpon is definitely my favorite social media site, both as a user and as a receiver of traffic. Maybe those are related though, I’m not really into Digg and my articles aren’t very successful over there too. I love the blogging possibilities at StumbleUpon too. It’s quite easy to Photoblog something, making a visually nice bookmarking kind of blog of your Stumbles. If you want to see what I mean, visit my profile to check it out. And if you’re inclined to, I would appreciate a review of my profile. Thanks!

Progress towards goals
This week had major progress in my secondary, but overdue, goal of increasing the number of subscribers. I’m loving that! But there was also some progress on my other goals. Except for the marathon goal…again. There’s quite some time left until the deadline, but I need to get started again.

Zen to Done / Getting Things Done – weekly review
The draft of the checklist from last week had some additions this week, including from the comments. But, I’m not going to do the items on the checklist this week, because today is my second wedding anniversary and we’re going to celebrate that with a nice relaxing visit to the sauna! So I’m signing off now, see you next week.

Congradulation, you really worthed it, sometimes one quote can change the world!
Good luck.
Hi Lodewijk,
You just received another stumble, since you love them so much. Well done on your stats and keep up the great work!
