I finally finalized my idea to write down all my blogging goals for this year. Eleven months is still enough of a year . . . not all New Years resolutions have to be printed on January 1st.
I started blogging one and a half years ago, August 2015. Before I had even figured out how to create a blog, I already had a full list of all the places I wanted to blog about. And that list still isn't finished yet . . . Not that I did that little, but I started blogging some recipes or vacation diaries and discovered lots more delicious places in Hamburg!
On the one hand, this post is for me: to have a precise goals (instead of multiple to do lists that get thrown away when that last item never gets checked off). On the other hand it is for you. I hope that there are enough of you reading, to comment below :) Tell me what you are most interested in and what you think would be the most informative, interesting and helpful post that is distinguishable from other blogs.
Hamburg Food & Coffee:
- Milch ✅ (Feb. 12) my post here
- Less Political (third wave self-roasted coffee, first placed cheesecake in town, signature espresso drinks)
- Marktzeit in der Fabrik (breakfast market every Saturday in Ottensen)
- Herr Max (dainty patisserie in the Schanze)
- Ti Breizh (galettes and crêpes just as in Brittany) ✅ (Mai 15) my post here
- Nord Coast Coffee (3rd wave self-roasted coffee, amazing breakfasts, dainty snacks) ✅ (Mai 30) my post here
Hamburg Guides:
- third wave coffee ✅ (Jan. 26) my post here
- vegetarian & vegan burgers ✅ (July 26) my post here
- homemade macarons
- homemade (not home de-frozen!) croissants
- alpine cuisine: Knödel , Spätzle & co. ✅ (April 7) my post here
- vegan ice cream
- gluten-free options
- a day in a district: (Eimsbüttel or Neustadt) where to stroll, shop, eat, relax and view
Hamburg Not-Food:
- beautiful house fronts, street art, parks, canals. . .
- my favorite individual shops (or two posts: danish design and local design in Hamburg)
Recipes:
- how to make the perfect smoothie bowl
- "huevos"… our most common dinner at home that every friend despises the look of but loves the taste (tortilla with pinto/black beans, cheese, fried egg, guacamole, salsa, hot sauce, creme fraiche + optional add ons)
Blogging Goals:
- design and print business cards
- design and print stickers
- hand out and evaluate my burger questionnaire: I have had this for a year now, but am always too embarrassed to hand it out to random people at cafés or on the street or even my friends 🙈. But it's the end of that. As of today I started handing it out (at least to friends;) ) – But if YOU know what a burger is . . . or maybe even better if you don't, I'd be super happy if you would take a moment to fill the Burger Questionnaire (sorry, it's only in German so far, so for all Englisch speakers, comment below and I'll make an English version asap!) Click here for the first part (English), second part (English), first part (German), second part (German) Just print it, fill it out and and send it to me (as a letter, by email ookiedough.blog@gmail.com, or DM on Instagram or FB, whatever is easiest for you!)
Now there are 365 - 31 - 18 days left for me . . . That's THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN days. So I should manage all of my goals, but unfortunately that's not how life usually works for me. At least my to do lists always disappear before they're fully checked off . . . So tell me the items to be checked off before it becomes intangible!
