Personal Goals

Personal goals made open source.

Why? In 2017 I've decided to go back to basics and learn JavaScript in depth using @ericelliott's guide to learning JavaScript.

I have a problem staying focused, the JavaScipt ecosystem is full of shiny new libraries and framework, it's easy to lose focus and try them all without learning JavaScript deeply. So this is a tool to help me focus on one thing for as long as possible.

Overarching Goal for January - December 2017: Back to Basics

  1. Contribute to Open Source
  2. Write more blog posts (More than once a month)
  3. Launch my developer career
  4. Get better at JavaScript
  5. Cultivate daily habits (reading: actual books and coding articles, coding, journalling, podcasts?)
  6. Give a talk (or talks!)
  7. Do more community stuff
