Post #12: SECOND MONT EVALUTION
In my previous post, I promised to share with you the actual status of writing the book, HOW TO SHARI’AH-COMPLIANTLY INVEST IN THE PHILIPPINE STOCK MARKET: BEGINNER’S STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE, by evaluating my performance during the first 2 weeks of the 3rd month (June 1-12, 2022).
In this blog, however, what I will share with you instead is my performance during the 3rd month (June 2022) as a whole.
June 1-12 – As indicated in my last two posts, when I accepted the proposal on May 22 to publish Dr. Christopher Ryan Maboloc’s RADICAL DEMOCRACY IN THE TIME OF DUTERTE (https://www.elzistyle.com/product/radical-democracy-in-the-time-of-duterte), I needed to immediately work on laying out, editing, proofreading, and cover designing the book in order to meet the publication target date (early July 2022).
As such, even those blocks of time allocated for writing (8-11 am, Monday-Thursday) were devoted to the said publication legworks.
June 13-14 (Monday-Tuesday) – I had another 2-day travel.
June 15 (Wednesday) – I was able to draft or edit less than a page, working on the Table of Contents and Chapter 2 in particular.
June 16 (Thursday) – I was able to draft 2 pages (pp. 104-105).
June 20-23 (Monday-Thursday) – I was able to draft 7 pages (pp. 106-113).
June 27-30 (Monday-Thursday) – I was able to draft 6 more pages (pp. 114-119).
In sum, during the whole month of June 2022, I was only able to draft 15 pages of the book, as opposed to 60 pages target for the four weeks.
In the next blog, insha’ Allah, I will share with you the continuation of initial drafting of the book, HOW TO SHARI’AH-COMPLIANTLY INVEST IN THE PHILIPPINE STOCK MARKET: BEGINNER’S STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE, by evaluating my performance during the third month (June 2022).
In particular, I will address the following evaluation questions:
* What milestones did I reach for this goal?
* How close am I to my goal?
* What brought me to my milestones?
* What roads turned out to be wrong ways?
* What better roads can I explore to get to my milestones?
