My Goals

It’s a couple of weeks into 2018; and I realised is that I have not published my goals for the forthcoming year.

What about 2017?

• Run 520km (roughly 5km, twice a week). Habit formed ✅
• Cycle 1000km+ (roughly 10km, twice a week). Habit formed ✅
• 10 pushups, twice a week ❌
• Finish the edx ‘CS50 course’ that I started ❌
• Finish the edx ‘Learn how to learn course’ that I started ❌
• Read 5 books ✅

Whilst I didn’t do pushups, I started planking instead. I didn’t complete the edx courses, but I did spend time learn new tech: Firebase, EmberJS, ReactJS, VueJS. I’m not a a master at any, but feel I know enough to understand more than the basics.

Overall I didn’t achieve them all; but happy where I landed. 💪 💪 👊 👊
