I’m way late on updating on the goals and setting the next batch… it’s been a year already, and it’s not even half over! So let’s see how I did for each pair of goals, then set the next ones!
All of these will be due by June 30th!
Last Quarter’s Goals:
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 – failed! My knee hated me, and I struggled with the friction of having to tether the chair when I want to do it.
- Chloe and Smudge to vet for their annual checkups, boosters, etc. – done! Got them done while they were kenneled for our Ohio trip. Both in great health, though Chloe needs to have a tooth looked at
Career
- Complete conversion of at least one web application from Laminas to Symfony and launch – Done two even and working on site number 3 now! Really enjoying it!
- Study up on Title II compliance and apply principles to the converted app to bring it up to standard – Also done and continuing to work to make sure all the updated apps are compliant as well
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. Actually sent all gig money to the debt repayment!
Joy
- Play 4 games from my backlog: one each from 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 Got through two, one from 2020 (Metro 2033 Redux) and 2023 (The Evil Within), but also set up a schedule of games for the year that include multiple games from the backlog
- Read 3 books of any length – can be manga or novel, just read! – Read several volumes of manga that been waiting lovingly for me to return for a few years now!
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 And for now, I’ll continue this set up as a more long term experiment, though I still reserve the right to randomly swap a day in a week for a game I got a key for or my mood, but I do finish games faster this way!

- Chloe dental appointment and monitor to see if Prozac is helping the issues with her attacking Smudge
Career
