I haven’t done well with my goals the last few years, and it isn’t very encouraging. It made it hard for me to start thinking of goals for this year, because my brain just keeps saying, “Why, so you can fail again?” So in an attempt to set myself up for a greater chance of success, I will be grouping my goals into thematic areas, and only having 1-2 goals in those areas active at a time.
I’m also keeping the number of themes smaller than the actual number I came up with, again to try to set myself up for wins. All of these will be due by March 31st!
Health
- Complete at least 36 exercise sessions of 15+ minutes, using under-desk elliptical, Ring Fit, walking, or other forms of exercise – stream squats do NOT count
- Chloe and Smudge to vet for their annual checkups, boosters, etc.
Career
- Complete conversion of at least one web application from Laminas to Symfony and launch
- Study up on Title II compliance and apply principles to the converted app to bring it up to standard
Financials
- By February 15, configure Spark and DoorDash payouts so that at least 90% of net income from those sources automatically goes to a separate account so it can be used for debt repayment, and maintain that setup through March 31.
Joy
- Play 4 games from my backlog: one each from 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023
- Read 3 books of any length – can be manga or novel, just read!
Streaming
- Post 6 videos to YouTube that are not VODs – can be let’s plays, LEGO builds, etc.
- Try one game at a time instead of 3 different games on different nights for the entire quarter
