I read the title of an article today on Lifehacker: The Best Way to Reach Your Goals May Be Publicly Recording Your Progress.

It inspired me to create this blog. As if I don't have enough blogs to maintain.

I haven't even read the article yet.

Since March of this year, I have been on a career search to secure a position as a Director of Diversity at an entertainment company or a media foundation. I set a deadline of reaching that goal: December 1, 2015. I'm not there yet.

I have the skills, the determination, and the chutzpah. But I don't have the position.

This blog will help. It's public, so other people will see it and expect something new from me.

I will write each day, ideally for 10 minutes total, documenting something I have done that day to help me achieve my goal of working as an executive in Diversity & Inclusion in Media & Entertainment.

Here's something I did today: I started this blog.

I also tweeted a bunch over here.

And I shared the article I wrote on Monday with my colleagues on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter: Less white men. More Asian women. Now.

I also went to coffee with a nice person.

That's a lot of stuff for one day, but I forget. I often focus on the fact that I don't have a job in Diversity in Entertainment yet. I don't look at all the stuff and things I do each day that are productive in helping me achieve my goals.

This blog should help.
