Highlights

• A change to Zestful’s website boosted it to the front page of Google results within days.
• I’m going to try to make a better version of a decades’ old application for managing machine shops.
• I’m doing lots of coding to avoid talking to customers.

Goal grades

At the start of each month, I declare what I’d like to accomplish. Here’s how I did against those goals:

Publish a new blog post about eliminating distractions from email and social media

• Result: I published “Eliminating Distractions from Social Media, Email, and StackOverflow”
• Grade: A

I published this post as planned but was surprised how little a response it generated. I’ve had a string of posts that I knew were too narrowly-focused to get widespread attention, but I thought a blog post about focus in the age of social media would attract more interest.
