I am house wife and I blog full-time. I went on a three vacation from Jan'09 to India. Hence, the drop in frequency. Am gearing up to get back to full speed but the vacation won't go away :) I could easily score more than one book a week when I was working in Mumbai. If the focus is there, it's easier to take out time for anything. Your site looks good. Always great to find a fellow Indian blogger; that too using same theme as mine (quite a co-incidence :)) Amit, no I don’t work. I am house wife and I blog full-time.

Are you working? A book a week is too much apart from everything you mentioned. Also I noticed something so I thought to share. First, We share same template of our blog though we are using it bit differently. Second, Glad to meet an Indian blogger blogging about personal development. However it seems the frequency have dropped significantly. A nice read indeed. Are you working? A book a week is too much apart from everything you mentioned.

But if I post weekly updates, all my readers will run away ;) If yearly goals overwhelm you, keep yearly themes. They work well and don't give you any kind of pressure. You then just have to focus on taking one step forward in whatever theme you choose. Maya, I do a weekly status check as well (imagine realizing after a quarter is gone that you missed the boat!).

It's way too easy to slip without them. I agree, 'why' is most important. Without a real good reason, motivation doesn't stay strong. JD, I would be completely lost without status checks.
