Day 200: Update on Goals

Time for another update on goals for the year:

• Books: By day 200 I should have completed 16.44 books. I’m therefore comfortably ahead of schedule on this one, and happy it should complete successfully.
• Weight: This is going to be my big focus for the second half of the year – there’s a target, and implied rate of required progress, and a plan… just no success to report so far.
• Career: This is now done!
• Church Website: There’s no update to this since last time. I’m waiting on feedback from the various groups, and until I get it there isn’t much more I can do with the site. If I don’t get anything back by the next update, I think I’ll start work on putting together a shell for the various groups, and then populate the individual pages as I am able.
• Redecoration: This is now done!
• Blogging:  If I had set my usual goal for this year, I would expect to have posted 66 times by now. Due to a flurry of posts right at the end of June, I was actually briefly on target for the year, but my expectation is that this is now likely to slip back a bit. I guess we'll see.
• Home Automation: No update since the last time – I’m still waiting on a key price drop.

The last few weeks have actually brought a remarkable turnaround in some of the goals – it now looks like two are done, one is pretty much sure to be done, and there are plans in place for most of the others. It’s only the blogging non-goal that seems unlikely to reach the nominal target, and even that has advanced significantly. So this is a rather positive update for once.
