How did you do? Did you accomplish your goals? Surpass them? Did life interfere with your plans?

The fourth check-in is upon us! Is it really Thursday already?

With just two more check-ins scheduled, how are you feeling about your progress?

It's that time again... Time for the third check-in! You have all evening to drop in and let us know what kind of progress you've made since you last checked in (or, if you missed the first two check-ins, since signing up).

Today marks the halfway point. Have you made the kind of progress you hoped for? Are you worried yet?

The second check-in has arrived! I'm running a little late today (sorry!), but most people seem to like checking in later in the day anyway. You have all evening to drop in and let us know what kind of progress you've made since checking in yesterday (or, if you missed Check-In #1, since signing up). I know it can be hard to Get Stuff Done during the week, so don't feel badly if you haven't had a chance to make a dent in your goal just yet.

The time has come for the first check-in! You have 24 hours to drop in and let us know what kind of progress you've made since first signing up. If you haven't had a chance to get started yet, never fear: you have plenty of time left!

Are you satisfied with your progress? Have you run into any unexpected difficulties? Would you like to share a snippet of what you've been working on? Can we help you resolve any issues you may be having?

Sign ups are now open for the second round of [community profile] podfic_gsd! We will be running from March 30-April 5 with our first check-in going live March 31st at Midnight CST. Latecomers are welcome to sign up here and jump in at any time during the week. Please don't hesitate to jump in and join us in setting personal goals and sharing self-satisfaction and squee. ♥

You will have the option to check in with us each day to update us on your progress or you may simply check in as you find the time. We aim to provide a relatively stress-free environment for personal accountability. You will be welcome to share snippets of what you’ve been working on, ask for help if you need it, and participate in mutual cheerleading and encouragement.

Sign up now, if you would like some encouragement and accountability as you:

  • podfic up a storm for the annual [community profile] amplificathon challenge;
  • push to finish a chunk of your [livejournal.com profile] extreme_bigbang (final products are due in just 15 weeks!);
  • start on your Cakebang podfic;
  • generally make progress recording and/or editing any other podfics in your queue;
  • upload and publish finished podfic that has been sitting on your harddrive;
  • design the podfic cover art you’ve been putting off;
  • design podfic covers for COVER ME! An Emergency Podfic Coverart Meme;
  • complete some archivist duties for the audiofic archive;
  • listen to the backlog of podfic you’ve downloaded but haven’t had a chance to enjoy;
  • comment on all those podfics you’ve listened to recently;
  • organize a podfic challenge or incorporate podfic into an existing challenge;
  • aim to make progress on any other type of podfic-related work.

I know many of you are participating in Extreme Big Bang, which has rough drafts (60%) due April 13th, so we're definitely due for another GSD before then. Let me know what weeks work best for you!

Obviously non-EBB participants are more than welcome to join the fun too. I know Cakebang will be expecting progress reports of 60% complete submissions by May 15 for anyone interested in being put on the art claims list.

Misery loves company?

Check in here whenever you're ready to call it quits for the week. Please let me know if you've found this exercise useful and if you would do it again.

At this point, I'm thinking of hosting something like this every other month or so; if anyone wants to host a GSD-type event here (perhaps for a podfic challenge?), just poke me. :)

TGIF! It's been a long week! If ya'll are anything like me, you're planning to spend the last little stretch before the GSD ends pushing yourself to meet that goal you set. ;)

I'll be posting the Day 7 (Final) check-in around Noon CST tomorrow and as long as its still Saturday somewhere in the world you can still check in with your last minute accomplishments! (Who am I kidding? If you don't check in until Sunday, I'm not gonna judge, lol.)

Thursday is upon us! You know the drill: whenever you're ready, check in here! Crow about your awesome accomplishments! (Or sob like me if you're way behind schedule, lol.)

[personal profile] eosrose
And here is the Wednesday check-in, the halfway point for the week! Check in here any time all day with your progress. Everyone is doing such a great job so far! Ya'll are putting me to shame. ♥

Are you where you'd hoped to be by this time? Do you think you'll meet your goals for the week?

What's up folks? Once again I'm posting this a few hours before Tuesday is due to hit for me, but I expect that will be the standard, because a girl needs to sleep, right? Check in here whenever you're ready.

Have you made any progress since you checked in for Day 2? Or, if you missed the Day 2 check in, since you signed up? Are you feeling okay about that progress? Is there anything your fellow GSDers can do to help you along?

It's time for the first check-in! It's not quite Monday where I am just yet, but it's Monday somewhere and I'd rather post earlier than later. ;)

You may check in here at any point until the Day 3 post goes up. Just tell us all about your progress (if you've made any yet). Feel free to share snippets of what you've been working on since you signed up. This might be a good place to connect with people for progress-making sprints. ♥

Mark your calendars, folks! The February GSD will begin Sunday, February 9th and conclude Saturday, February 15th.

Are you a podfic listener in need of some incentive to comment on all the podfics you've listened to lately? A prospective podfic challenge moderator looking for the time to finally organize that challenge? A podficcer seeking a push to record and/or edit something? Please consider joining us in setting goals, sharing progress, encouraging friends, and Getting Stuff Done. ♥

About

Each month the community will host a GSD Week:

Day 1: Participants will declare their podfic-related goal for the week. This goal may include recording, editing, designing cover art, archiving, posting, organizing challenges, or anything else related to podfic fandom.

Day 2-6: Participants will (optionally) check in daily with a report of their progress. This is a good opportunity to share snippets of works in progress.

Day 7: Participants will declare their total progress for the week and determine whether or not they've met their personal goal.

Everyone is welcome to drop by and encourage participants in their endeavors. ♥
