Action Plan 2012

What is Your Action Plan for 2012?

I don't have any resolution for the new year.  Instead I have an action plan for 2012.  It is  simple so that I can do it.  It is small so that I can manage it.  In brief it is comprised of things I need and like to do .  What I would like to improve are the areas where I am not doing well enough... to improve them a little bit each day.



Consistent Blogging
I would  try to blog one post each day.  It is a simple goal yet not easy.  As I checked my previous posts during the past years,  I noticed that there were days I did not do any posting at all.   Sometimes, I made two to three posts for the same day when my writing mood was high.  I would change my plan a little bit here.  I would adhere closely to the one per day basis.  If I am in the right writing mood, I rather make it as a reserve keeping them together in a pool so that I won't miss any day when I was unable to post for any reason.



Consistent Singing

I like singing.  I sing almost every day.  When I practice singing daily I don't notice anything. However, when I stop practice for two to three days,  I notice my singing goes backward.  Therefore,  it is important to keep consistent practice in order to make the daily improvement. 


A friend told me the following story.  He is a ping pong maniac.  He practices his ping pong two hours daily.  If he stops practice one day,  his coach would notice it.  If he stops practice for two days, he himself would notice it.  If he stops practice for three days, the spectators would notice it.  This principle also applies to physical exercises.  Consistent is the key if one wants to be successful in any endeavor.  So,  I would like to schedule my time for my favorite endeavors say 60 to 90 minutes daily for each one of them.




Being More Focus for Better Quality

In the past, I want to do a lot of things.  It is time to change.   I would rather be more focus in doing one or two things and be very good at it.  I would focus on things which are important and urgent.   When working  in the internet it is so easy to get astray and lost focus as the mind is overwhelmed by the information.  People can fiddling over things that are totally not important nor urgent and subsequently wasted time.   In my case, let me be more focused writing high quality post.   I would  prefer to write a high quality post with 500 - 700 words with good contents, with plenty of related keywords.



Search engines optimization quick guideline:

• H1 tag containing your keyword
• have H2 tag containing your keyword
• have H3 tag containing your keyword
• bold your keyword
• italic your keyword
• have enough keywords and underline them
• have an image for SEOPressor to add ALT tag
• have keyword in the first sentence.

Make each post to become a pillar post is my goal for 2012.  I would apply this attitude to the other areas such as singing and hobbies giving more emphasis to quality than quantity.


Put More Effort in Marketing My Blog

As I review my blog and its postings,  I need to put more effort in marketing my blog.  By this I meant I need to interact more with my loyal readers as well as the people who visit my blog from time to time.   The foundation of my marketing plan would be the name list of my readers and visiting.  I need to improve and expand it.  This is the first thing I need to do in 2012.

The solution for this important task is now installed in my blog via Aweber. They are the best in the business and have features that put them ahead of the competition. Aweber offers a $1 trial acount for all new customers. The account is just like a normal Aweber account and includes unlimited email campaigns, newsletter, broadcasts and follow ups.



The To Do List

I am referring to the basics of the to do list, not the details of daily tasks.  The basic rules are:

(1) Be good and no evil
We are born in this world with a purpose.  And we are held accountable for we have done to ourselves and others at the end of earthly journey.  It applies to all without exception. What is legally or politically right may be completely wrong if viewed from the angle of accountability.




(2) Be healthy
Health is often being overlooked.   People are aware of it when it is lost.   For over half a century of observation and search for wisdom, I can say for sure it it much more important than money.
 
(3) Be happy
Being happy and enjoy life is essential to healthy and meaningful living. 

(4) Be enriching financially for self and others
This is like a bonus given to the retiree or a salaried man.   In this respect, I like Empower Network for its 100% commission empowering and enriching features.

(5) Be organized
Google Calender is an excellent tool organizing and planning all the to-do things.
