So last week I hit the reset button and set new goals for myself to try and keep myself engaged in this endeavor. My main goal is to post to each of my three websites twice a week. I'm happy to report that this week, I posted to each website twice. A couple of those posts were just going in and bringing new life into old posts. But it was still new content, so I count it. It was a pretty productive week, on top of my daily posts, I also:

- Added Favicons to all 3 websites

- Fixed Image URLs in all 3 websites

- Installed Google Analytics to all 3

- Installed and set up SumeMe to all 3

- Redesigned all 3 (new themes, new widgets, etc.)

- Installed Yoast SEO on all 3 and started fixing the SEO on old posts

- Reviewed the SPAM comments on each (there were some real comments mixed in) and addressed them appropriately (deleted the spam, approved the others and replied)

- Started my Email Welcome Campaign for 2 of them

- Planned out content through the rest of the month for all 3

- Cleaned my email inbox out (down from 2,500 to 82)...got delete happy!

While I got a lot done, I still have a ton to do. I have a lot that I'm working on and a lot that I've planned and there just isn't enough time in the day to do everything I want to do. So I'm prioritizing and just making sure that my primary goal comes first, which is to post to each site twice a week. So far so good. I need to build up the email campaigns for each of the sites, I'm finding it a little difficult to come up with content for those and to find the time to get it done. But I'm making progress still. I can live with that.

It was suggested last week that I post my progress weekly so that I stay on top of my goals. I found that to be a great motivator this week as I wanted to be able to report that I got a lot done. Indeed, I did. So thank you, for the suggestion. I will try to continue posting a weekly progress report to motivate myself to stay busy.

Good luck to you all!
