A “Check-In” on My 2023 Goals! (How Am I Doing?!!)

Introduction:

In this week’s blog post, I’m doing something that I probably should’ve released at the end of June however it’s better late than never!

Looking back at the goals I set all the way back in January! (Yes, it feels more than 8 months ago!) has the potential to be a painful exercise although there is a clear reason as to why I chose to share them to the world. Read on further to find out how "I've been doing!”.

As always, before we get into this week’s post: please make sure to applaud, comment and share with your friends.

Happy Reading!

Why Am I Actually Doing This?

Reflection is something that I struggle with to an extent therefore it’s something that I should do more (albeit not too much!).

It’s also good to hold myself accountable, especially for something that I’ve put out into the public.

Equally, a part of me is curious as to how I’ve done!

Looking Back at my Goals:

Goal 1: Consistent Blogging?

The first goal was a fairly achievable one: “Post 1 blog post a week” and for the most part ,I have achieved this!

Admittedly, I have had a few phases where I’ve been inconsistent but for the most-part, I’ve been fairly consistent (you can clearly see that!! :) ).

Goal 2: Have I became a more proficient Software Developer?

I’ve half achieved this in the sense that I’ve been working, I’ve been doing DSA and I am working on my portfolio.

I cannot say that I’ve achieved this goal because my portfolio website is still not deployed.

Goal 3: Have I Became More Consistent with Content?

First things first, my Instagram posting this year has been abysmal.

Partly due to me trying to take a break from the platform, I’ve definitely had spells where I’ve just abandoned my account, not good!

With that being said, I was able to post a YouTube video all the way back in February!

Now my channel is due to launch very soon and I have at least been posting once per week. Lets see if this continues?!!

Goal 4: Have I Been Doing Enough Theory?

I failed to stick with that book due to poor time management!

Thankfully I can say that my time management is a lot better nowadays and I’ve been able to touch on theory in other topics.

Partial achievement.

Goal 5: Have I Been Able to Channel My Eagerness?

Quite simply, yes but not into something programming related.

In All Honesty (POOR GOALS*):

So on the face of it, I’ve done pretty well. I’ve been able to live up to some goals and exceed others.

I’ve definitely made an attempt at all of them!

Some of them could definitely be SMARTER.

It’s also important to remember that this is an ongoing process!!

Final Things:

As always, thank you for taking the time to read this week’s blog post!

Admittedly, it was a bit rushed but I hope that you can appreciate it!
