I like re-planning when things are a little bit clearer and when things change. It’s nice to take a look at where I am, where I might get to, and maybe what I can do with more reinvestment.

A year still feels a little abstract. A 12-week span might be interesting for concrete goal-setting and momentum; maybe something to experiment. In any case, here’s a small achievement list I can work towards…

1. Development
   • Propose a calendar of prototypes with business-value descriptions
   • Design prototype and help team members write it instead of coding it myself
   • Think syntactically
2. Reporting
   • Make Tableau reports snappy
   • Identify business questions for a valuable regular report
   • Analyze my own data in R
3. Writing: Put together the intermediate Emacs config guide
4. Drawing: Sketch people quickly
5. Cooking: Map the families of recipes I want to try, and try them
6. Learning: Map the things I know and what I want to learn, and maybe find a coach
7. Tracking: Do grocery tracking in Quantified Awesome
8. Making: Sew those box cushion covers
9. Organizing house stuff
   • Simplify wardrobe
   • Tile floor
10. Biking: Maybe bike in winter
11. Pet care: Get Luke used to the toothbrush
12. Exercise: Do the exercise ladder for twelve weeks
13. Relationship: Work on more projects together
14. Community:
    • Set up Emacs hangout experiment
    • Hang out at Hacklab during winter
