h) My website has larger biceps.
================ End of 6 months and adapting to the real results=====================
I was thinking of making it a yearly plan but I don't think that it is feasible.
Committing 6 months and evaluate the results would give me the information on what is lacking and what needs to change. After that will I make a new plan.
Oh well...now I need to follow this plan or I would be proving Derek Sivers that he's right.
My pessimism crawled out from the pool of negativity; its hands squeezed the right leg of my effort as tight as the tightness of my angry face...hoping to see the plan's failure in its seemingly simple execution.
Now I need to intervene or else...

Intervene Quickly! And tell pessimism to keep his hands to himself! I'm anxious to see you many of your December goals you will reach. I think you will reach them all!
Onward and Up!
It looks like you are thinking big! Observation: small successes are better than big failures. Be sure that you set achievable and reasonable goals day by day.
I don't think it is that big but it is something that I can work on. with a little bit of effort.
Great goals - remember - one day/bite/hr/min at a time! Stay focused and you will reap the rewards!
