As far as I'm concerned, we're in a lull of the season.  With e3 winding down, I can catch up on the stack of games on my shelf that I've started only to lose interest for something shinier and newer.  Fallout 3, Alone in the Dark, Metroid Prime 3, a few old Gamecube games, the list continues.  Despite the fact that I am working like a squirrel collecting nuts, preparing for the colder months when all of the new releases really start to inundate gamers, I have a lot of other projects going on.

As you may notice, I keep a blog.  I enjoy writing, and I do it so often, but to become a blog entry, a piece of work needs to prove itself to me.  It needs to blindly leap into traffic to selflessly protect that which has sworn to end it, give up it's everlasting-gobstopper, and sell its hair to buy chain for my watch, which I sold to buy a hairbrush as a gift for it.  My list of unfinished entries is by far larger than my list of entries that made it.  Obviously this won't do, not if I want to be more effective and serve my people in a way that doesn't protrude into my 4 hours of sleep each night.  I've developed a plan, a mantra, so to speak.  It goes a little something like this:

I'm going to create something freakin' awesome four times a week.

It sounds fair, right?  It enforces time to churn the wheels of creation, allows ample time for bigger projects that require more polish, and it allows me to provide to you (for free I might add) the doctor-recommended dosage of vitamin Lynk.  I need to develop a method of checks and balances, a policy, a law to ensure I come through with this.  I can't expect to trust myself to be so productive.  I enjoy napping, and my attention span is medium-length at best.  To break it down further, it doesn't matter what my output is.  It just has to be something noteworthy.  Even unfinished work is valid; for larger projects I'd happily approve of completion of a substantial phase.

I've got a handful of personal projects, ranging from the minute to permanently reoccurring.  I shall keep my word, coordinate them, and we'll all reap the benefits.  Any thoughts on ways to track and manage a goal such as this?  Leave them for me.
