Stats are down again for May. This is disappointing. I was hoping that getting a handle on my niche and more thought about content would produce bigger readership. I guess I am getting ahead of myself. This doesn’t demonstrate that I am not making progress with content. It only shows that you don’t make changes and see results in a heartbeat. I may be providing valuable content for my market but I also need to get the word out. My marketing may be the problem. Time to step it up. I would certainly welcome comments and observations from readers – new and old – about my conclusions, so please chime in with your impressions. It is so easy to mislead yourself.
What interests me is the listing of most popular posts for May. This list continues to show that an old post about our 1950 Chevy pickup truck continues to top the list along with the tags flying and chevy. I don’t know what that tells me or how to use that to draw readers into some of the other content. Nostalgic car posts seem to dominate further down the list. I continue to create new nostalgic car posts but they don’t draw the readers through search engine activity. It seems like there is something good happening with these. I just don’t know what to do to take advantage of it. If any readers get ideas or suggestions to share with me from these stats, please share.

If you missed parts 1 and 2 you may want to read them now.
Each day is an experimental laboratory for understanding lifestyle design. No action is mandatory. I can stay in bed all day without consequence should I choose. But each decision forms my lifestyle, present and future. Exercise today and have more energy now and retain an active lifestyle longer in the future. Stimulate my brain today and promote a longer intellectual life. Engage in revenue generating business actiities nd support a richer set of lifestyle opportunities. Take the time to enjoy family and friends and reach out for social activities. Enjoy nature and the arts.
Each minute is an opportunity that will never come again and each minute is a foundation for the rest of my life. What I am able to do tomorrow is a consequence of what I do today.
If I make those decisions willy nilly, by whim or how I feel at any moment, I lose control of the future. I know that I cannot control the future and that at any moment a random action can change my life forever but since these are things I cannot control I don’t let them affect my decisions.
I know that by planning each day, I can influence the future days. Discipline in using my time is my tool to create the future lifestyle I want. So RalphCarlsonBlog exists to document my efforts to create a satisfying retirement lifestyle and share anything that I have learned.
