April Update: 2026 Goal Progress Monthly Update

Project Progress Project #1: book 2 in my main series Looking good and I've completed a draft round. Now I need to tie up elements and hopefully finish soon. I'm thinking of changing names but I'll see. New issues, risks, blockers: None at the moment, I just need to keep on. Project #8 Complete LinkedIn Learning course or gain 40 CPD/CPE credits I've now completed 16.6 CPD/CPE credits out of 40 credits. The last two modules were mostly irrelevant so I skimmed past them. One I just doubled played in the background to hit the completion rate. It a python course but the material was out of data, as well as the libraries on jupiter so it basically useless, plus programming is boring at times.   New issues, risks, blockers: boredom    Project Review Project #7 Watching Instructional videos: On Hold I signed up for the BBC Maestro costs last November and have barely looked at them so I may start and blog about them here.

At this time is it probably the Project #5: Google Drive Review where I had to jump in deep and do a file audit, which led to the discovery of how much work I've put into some incomplete projects. It was meaningful because it has realigned some of my goals and motivation to be more focused on the projects I have. I often forget about my novels-in-progress but that was a good reminder.  https://dabwrites.blogsp...

January Update: 2026 Goal Progress Monthy Update

I was wondering if I should write about the projects separately rather than a huge review. I need a way of organising this.  My Master Goal Lists:  https://dabwrites.blogspot.com/p/2026-goals-projects.html I'm trying out this format to see if it works so shall be using these headings if they apply. STATUS : Goal is set but action has not begun. On Track / In Progress: Active, moving toward the goal on schedule. RISKS - At Risk / Behind: Experiencing delays or obstacles. KEY RESULTS/MILESTONES: Sub-tasks required. BLOCKED : Cannot proceed due to dependencies. COMPLETED/DONE : Goal achieved. PAUSED : Temporarily stopped. Project #1: Finish book 2 in my main series-in-progress  STATUS : Ongoing.  This story is made up of five parts and I've completed part one which is called Strangers To Friends. Here I needed to add two secondary o...
