Hence I barely every check my stats now - feels much better :) It’s easy to get wrapped up in the stats and building your visitor base, but after a while you forget about enjoying yourself and begin to take it too seriously.

At times I do feel like it's a task to write, but ignored the fact that I just enjoy blogging. How and when did I forget that?!

I blog because I enjoy it (though I can certainly appreciate what it's like having no time to keep up with it on occasions!) and having goals kind of turned blogging into more of a task than a hobby. Still, I don't think just a few could hurt at all so I might give them a go again.. :) When I originally started blogging I did have goals, but I realised over time that goals were not the direction I wanted to head.

Where my website is concerned, my goals have always been only vaguely defined. Lately, my site is becoming more a means than an end in my life. It gives me motivation and excuse to write -- I have need for both, it seems. I've been working on a high-level plan for what I eventually want my site to become, but it's anything but certain whether that plan will ever be realized. With all the things I'm doing and want to do, transforming my blog is pretty far down the priority list. I can relate to feeling as though I should have goals for my blog.
