Let’s Start Planning

I Am Alive Day 107

Bob Caine here. This is my 107th day in the #iamalivechallenge. I am alive and I am doing very well. I hope you are doing very well as well. This is the 2nd day using the main topic of the post instead of ‘I Am Alive Challenge Day 999’. Soon I will move this paragraph to the bottom of the post right before the IAAC video. I just didn’t want to change everything at once. That would have been too big a shock to my system.

Guinea Pig Challenge

The last 2 posts I talked about tasks, milestones and goals and how planning how to achieve your goals is essential. So, I thought it would be productive to use my 3 goals for the Guinea Pig Challenge as examples in the planning process. Also, I look forward to receiving your comments on how the plan or the process can be improved. All comments not only welcomed but encouraged. Please help me achieve my goals and I will do whatever I can to help you with yours.

You will remember that these goals were determined by writing down your 10 goals everyday for 2 weeks without looking at any of the previous days. The top 3 goals were those that occurred with the highest priorities most often. My top 3 goals were

  1. Get 10 Prosperity Management System Students by January 1, 2021. Prosperity Management System (PMS) is a unique program that you can use as it is when you join, you can completely change it to suit your needs or anywhere in between.
  2. Get this blog internet ready. If you look around this website, you will see that it is very plain. I have been using it to create posts for posting on the Hive blockchain. I will continue to send all my posts to the Hive but I want an attractive website that people want to visit.
  3. 100 email series in my autoresponder. I use Aweber as my autoresponder. Aweber has many features to enhance your AR capabilities; e.g., they provide a way to transfer members from one campaign to another. This will allow me to send an initial set of emails tailored to where the person came from and then connect them to a common email series. I think this is a very powerful feature and I want to take advantage of it. So this goal is not only creating 100 emails but learning the capabilities of Aweber.

Now I need to plan how I am going to achieve those goals by developing tasks and milestones. Why don’t we start with goal #3, creating 100 emails for my list. Let me list the tasks and milestones that immediately come to mind.

  • Learn how to connect campaigns in Aweber
  • Develop a list of content topics for campaigns
  • Write 2 emails/day

That is all I can think of at the moments. I would say that the list definitely needs to expand and be refined. What other tasks can you think of that I need to create my 100 emails for my autoresponder? Your ideas are greatly appreciated.

More CSS Acrhitecture

A couple of days ago, I talked about CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) architecture and the use of B(lock), E(lement), M(odifier) methodology. This video explains the advantages of using BEM. I actually use a clip from the Udemy course I am taking to explain the advantages. I figure the instructor, Nick, does a great job explaining the advantages so why should I try and parrot it back. I never understood before how helpful CSS could be. But, I have learned that well structured (BEM) CSS cqan save you time and headaches especially on a large website. Nick teaches a way to structure BEM that makes a lot of sense to me. Blocks are short descriptors of what the block is; e.g., row. Elements are the block name, 2 underscores, and the element descriptor; e.g., row__33-percent-column. Modifiers are the block name, 2 dashes, and the modifier descriptor; e.g., row–blue-font.

CSS Architecture BEM

I am so glad I took this course at Udemy. The course is called “Git a Web Developer Job: Mastering the Modern Workflow”. The instructor is Brad Schiff. The course is described as teaching Git, Github, Node.js, NPM, Object-oriented JavaScript, ES6, webpack, Netlify, BEM and job interview tips. I am not looking for job but I did need ti learn Git and Github for another course I was taking taught by Brad. I am not looking for a job but I was looking to understand Git and Github. I needed them for another course I was taking by Brad to overcome the limitation of the free hosting service used in the course. That is a different story which I mentilned a few days ago. Why I am glad I took the course is because I am finally starting to understand to use CSS to my advantage. Before this course, I
