A few weeks ago, I set the goal for myself of having some significant accomplishment to show for each week, either in the category of creative content (writing / game development) or something of significant use (like general purpose utility software). This was based on something similar I did in the first few months of 2010, which was based on the “virtual series” idea—that is, write and release screenplays for an episodic series with the limitations of an actual weekly production in mind.
At first, this seemed to be working somewhat; I wound up adding a list of specific things I wanted for each week for the next year, and I’ve had less success with that. But the past two weeks have seen less success, so a few days ago I decided that I should at least be able to identify some kind of work I’ve accomplished each day. And I’ve accomplished nothing since.
The evidence still seems to be in favor of weekly deadlines more than anything else, at least.
