Calling myself into the office: September 2024

It’s now 14 whole years, which is longer than my daughter has been alive, since I posted a ‘Calling myself into the office’ post. It’s time for another one. The aim of the series, which I published on the first Monday each month, aimed at personal improvement through the public sharing of goals and targets. Given that it’s the first Monday of September, I might as well have a go at resurrecting it!

Gary Larson's famous "Beware of Doug" cartoon. ACME salesman is about to enter a property through a gate saying BEWARE OF DOUG". There is a person (presumably Doug) hiding behind a tree.

Looking back

My targets for last month were:

  • N/A

Looking forward

I’m doing alright with my MSc modules, so I don’t think I need any targets around that. I’m happy with my running and gym routine, too.

This is usually my favourite month for camping, I’ve got some business development to do for WAO, and I’d like to launch the new version of a site. I’d also like to get back into the pool, and make some progress on my temporary office arrangement. And so, my targets for September are:

  1. Camp for at least one night away from home
  2. Land at least one new client
  3. Launch the new version of ailiteracy.fyi
  4. Go swimming at least twice
  5. Get in touch with a builder about plans for converting part of our garage into my home office

That’s all very manageable, I think. Now I just need to schedule some of it!
