Matt Cutts is the head of Google’s Webspam team and has to be one of the busiest people in the world… With all the Black Hat SEO, shady Internet Marketers and of course the dreaded BING (cue the Bing/Airplane audio clip) how could he possibly find time to do anything more than work?

I have a hard time and all I do is work, workout and chase two girls around their travel sports teams practices and games… ok, maybe I’m close or ahead in that aspect.

Even still, he can’t possibly get much more than work done, can he? Rhetorical question of course – take a look at Matt’s blog category 30 days where he has ran a marathon, written a novel, learned new words, went without power (jk), went sky-diving and more!

This is one of those posts that cross over from my techie life to personal to business because it is all about goals. 30 days is long enough to form a habit so it is perfect for a time bound goal. In addition to time bound you need to have a specific goal and a plan to get there… Choose something you want to do and then do it every day. Pretty clean.

My first 30 day goal is to post at least one blog entry every day! Seems simple enough, but it is difficult to find the time so it will be challenging for me.

My second 30 day goal is to read at least 5 books over the next 30 days. Wait, wasn’t this supposed to be A 30 day challenge and not SOME 30 day challenges? Yes it was, but I am close to that goal anyway as you can see from an earlier post so this just formalizes it and makes me focus in on it a little more.

This is my first day and first post of 30 Day Challenge Goal #1. See you tomorrow!
