I recently posted my 2025 resolutions. I wanted to write an update post about how they are going and talk about the blockers in my life preventing me from completing them. This isn't meant to be a "woe is me" post, or a post about how difficult it is to complete my resolutions, but for me to publicly acknowledge my shortcomings. In doing so, I want to motivate myself to progress towards my resolutions. In 10 days, I'll post another update. Ideally, I'll have to develop a reproducible system based on Agile principles to complete my goals.
I figured that 10 days in, I should give an update as to how it is going:
-
I will write daily here on Dev.to about my developer journey and projects.
- Since January 2nd, I have not posted
-
I will post daily to at least one social media account between Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
- I have not done this
-
I will talk to at least one friend or family member daily over the phone. If I am going to meet someone in person, a phone call to them doesn't count,
- I've kinda done this
-
I will accomplish 75 Hard,
- I have failed at least one objective every day except for not drinking alcohol
-
I will optimize my time for learning and researching,
- This has been going well. I'm reading more academic research papers
-
I will apply to at least one job a day,
- Haven't started
-
I will start and grow my investments to $10,000, and
- I haven't been paid yet, so I haven't started
-
I will read every book on my bookshelf.
- I just finished my first book!
