Completed My Goal With This Site AMA
I've reached a milestone with this site and now I feel I should post an AMA.
I started on this site in January and didn't give it much attention until 3 weeks ago when I actually started listening. My end conditions where stop in 3 weeks time (end of today) or get the Knight of Smilehood, which I got just now received. I set these conditions in order to set boundaries for me as I get really passionate and focus that forget to do other things.
I do listening professional so it wasn't too hard to get the hang of it. But I knew I had goals in mind when I started listening.
1) To improve my active listening skills especially with empathy. I am a life long learner and I always want to keep learning from others and advancingmy own skills.
2)
I think many times I am misunderstood by people it was never about the Cheers or Badges, though they were good incentives, it was to challenge myself in achieving a goal
Sorry about that.
2) To do good in the world
3) Contribute to the site because I see value in its mission and goal.
and to help people help themselves. I pretty much going on hiatus for bot and going to enjoy working on other projects and goals. I hope everyone has a good summer.
So how did you do it?
Blood, sweat, and tears.
I had to work really hard. I sometimes were with a guest all night letting them unload their issues.
I usually carry my Android on me so whenever I had a moment in the day I would be replying to messages.
Congrats on achieving your goal! What's the next? :)
I want to develop an app for Android for listing resources and services in my area.
I want to concentrate on my fitness and prepare to run another Marathon next Spring
I want to presentanother paper at another conference.
I won't to complete some projects for some nonprofits I amaffiliatedwith.
With this site:
I want to get to know people a little more.
I want to contribute in different ways beside listening perhaps Mentoring if the opportunity arises.
To better my practice of Mindful Meditation
Sometimes it's a little bittersweet for people when they accomplish goals, because trying to achieve it was enjoyableorthrillingup until the very end. Are you a little sad now that you're finished and you've achieved this goal, or are you just satisfied and excited to move on to the next thing?
I'm more relieved then anything. I sometimes didn't know if I was going to make it.But I do feel a little bitter sweet because it was so fun and addictingchattingwith guests. I probably won't go to this extreme for awhile but Ill try to stay connected to the guestsand the community.
I'm proud of the accomplishments I achieved on this site in the short time I was listening. But another things do need my attention so I have to focus my mind on other things if I want a chance at making them happen.
