March April Goal Review

I have been doing everything, everywhere, all at once (super fun movie, BTW). However, this timeline missed a few things:

March Goal Review

1. Travel!
   • Won! And such travel. I spare you the details – suffice that it was quite nice despite that I paid much time in price 😅
2. Code
   • Won! No bonuses this time, yet got my study in. (I really like this as a goal – perhaps we slate it as a regular thing? Will be sticking around for April!)
3. 10 Hours Java
   • Failed. I did most of the learning, but not all. Yet, Java is so similar to C#, I started coding problems early. Count it as a win to learn Java, yet we stick by the letter of the law for this one.
4. 10 Blogs
   • Failed. Hardly put to the task. Travel and the private professional task below left little opportunity to sit down. The post talking about a change needed here is more important than ever.
5. Private (Professional)
   • Won! In a big way too. I might have more information to share as early as the first or second week of April!
6. Private (Personal)
   • Won! Also in a big way. I am happy to be alive in this time of the world, content with who I have become and work with wonder at who I will be ❤

April Goal Proposal

1. Taxes
   • TMI? Anyway, I am preparing for new tax concerns this year, so allocating not insignificant time to get this handled properly.
2. Code
   • Copy/paste from last month: Back at it. Code for an hour for a week’s worth of days.
   • Bonus: Take on 3 easy and a medium problems in Java.
   • Bonus: Take a certification assessment.
3. No-Do Daydream Day
   • Take Sundays as a no-TODO list day. Game or play or do something unproductive for the broader world.
   • Bonus: Complete a game or novel outline on these dreamy days.
4. 10 Blogs
   • Trying again this month. I have the list from March, so will drive towards 3 blogs a week to come in on schedule.
5. Summer Plans
   • Doing some talking, there are weddings, people, and countries to see. With the professional news that comes after this post, I can settle in on what my maneuverings will be in June, July, August, and on. Plans, folks!
6. Private (Personal)
   • Another continuation from April. Now is not the time to pull such an investment of efforts.
7. Bonus: Finish Journaling Audits
   • I journal. I keep track of things in other ways. Should my own time and productivity be so kind, I would like to do an audit to see what has been and where I am at! (Usually records some useful blog ideas, too!)

–

A humbling 67% on target. Now, it tracks with my historic 60-80% efficiency rate when doing work, so this may mean my goals are appropriate to push me, yet not so daunting as to be my undoing.

What do you think? Feel I didn’t do enough in March? Am I challenging myself thoroughly in April?

Give me your take. Regardless, may all you take on in April yield the best of the best dividends! Cheers to it~
