I find this system really works. I’ve even wen’t as far as creating an Excel Spreadsheet to work out the points for me , all i need to do is enter in the amount of things i’ve done on my blog and it works the score out for me.

Its a great system , really helps to keep the motivation up.

Ps. If you want the My Daily Blog Score Spreadsheet you can find it on my website.

I think it’s a good idea that way on days your not doing so well you still feel as though you accomplished something. I hadn’t put points on anything but rather have a list of what I must do each day. This is a minimum.
* 3 tweets per day
* write 1 article
* post 1 recipe
* 3 wall posts on facebook
* 10 comments on other blogs
* 20 emails a day
I’m just starting out so this is probably way low

This is such a good idea – you could apply this to almost every aspect of living!

Give yourself points for exersize, how you treat other people, how often you shower, etcetcetc – and then try to beat your own score

It’s like good spirited competition with the you-of-yesterday

I’m doing this for everything.

OK, now that I have been trying this for a while I may need to get more realistic. Doing blogging/podcasting as a part time job I may have to be satisfied with 30 points a day on average.

Fantastic idea. I will start using this immediately. My blog had been badly neglected and now I’m trying to scramble my way out of the mess I brought to myself.

This will go a long way in helping me find direction.

A great idea. I am thinking for me I would want to add points for podcasting and for twittering. Something like:

1 point per minute for an edited podcast
.5 points per minute for a stream of un-edited podcast

1 point for a twitter with content
.5 for a twitter about what I am doing
.5 for a twitter reply

Hey cool, this would get me 2 points!

Love this idea!!…. Although I’m not happy to admit, I know I’ve neglected my blog over the past few weeks. This system makes it simple enough to maintain dedication towards your blog.

Other ideas I have:
15 points for writing a tutorial
5 points for posting a video
10 points for writing a review of a website or service

You could also set rewards like for every 1,000 points take a day off!

So I’m going to try it and see how it goes. Thanks for sharing

What a great idea. Actually I’ll improve this further and put it into my guide for bloggers and coaching students.

This kind of things really helps people stay on track, especially when you combine this with your strategy, short- and longterm goals.

Yes, two points for me!

I think this is a good system. I have been posting once per day and still feel that something is missing. May be this will help.

I have just started to use this method and already I have gotten more done in the last 20 mins than the last two hours…

One small change I minus points for bad habits, in order to correct behaviour.

Currently:
-5 for tweaking visuals
-5 for adding or tweaking ads

I’m insanely competitive so I have be going for 50+ everyday. Really awesome idea, these are the ‘little gems’ I’m looking for filmmaking-related for my site…

since i’m always online reading someone’s blog using something like this helps me pay attention to use all the time i have well, besides if you find something insightful you should let people know. so…

I enjoyed this post and found it practical.
