SEO: My favorite WordPress plugin is called "Keyword Statistics". It counts keyword densities and reports them below the post as you write, so you can scroll down and see if the keywords showing up are the ones you're targeting. A good keyword target is 2-4%, so if I'm below 2% or above 4% on my targeted keywords, I can massage the article as I go, tossing in an extra "music lessons" here or cutting an "it's always" there. Very cool.

Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.
Goal met: "I'll Fly Away" and "Blessed Be Your Name"

Write one new original song per month.

TOTAL POINTS SO FAR: 29.5
Yesterday was bad. I ate at church and did not count dinner points. That's my one freebie for the week.

I haven't been mentioning it, because it's not in my goals, but church has been keeping me hopping the last week or two. We're launching a new Wednesday night outdoor worship service this summer, and I've been directing the Senior Saints (choir made up of elderly singers) in the absence of their normal director, a friend of mine who had a stroke. I'm having my doubts about keeping up Textbroker and Advice for Business Manager goals. I might need to just focus on performance and music school for awhile.

To be fair, though, I've been spending too much time playing computer games  .
