Evaluating 2018 goals

    Evaluating 2018 goals

    Another half a year has passed from my latest goals and this is what seems like one of my worst per­for­mances so far. Turns out tran­si­tion­ing to a full time remote job is quite hard and time consuming. Also, not having a gym right at work makes it much harder to go to one :/

    Weight watching: Ahahaha. :( I am "glad" to report that I am the same weight as I was when I posted this. Score: 0. At least I didn't gain weight (though I definitely got fatter :( )

    Exercise three times a week: I averaged about 1.5 times a week. Score 0.5.

    Juggle for 5 minutes every day: I did 5 minutes almost every day. I am very com­fort­able with 3 balls. But with 4 balls I can do at most 10 seconds. Score: 0.7

    Read 20 books this year: I am at 10 books by now, which is a bit behind. Also, I couldn't finish 2 of those books, which is quite rare for me, because I'm usually very picky about the books that I start. Score: 0.65

    Write three blog posts per month: I did about 1.5 per month. Score: 0.5

    Study German: That went out the window fast. Turns out not having a good use case for this in the nearby future meant that I lost motivation after 1 month. Score: 0.2

    Two open source con­tri­bu­tions per month: I did one. In total. And I spent more time setting up my en­vi­ron­ment to be able to contribute than actually fixing a bug. Score: 0.1

    Read 3 chapters a day from the Bible: Mostly did it. Score: 0.9

    Memorize 1 Bible verse every week: So, I found a group to try to memorize verses together. But I still mostly failed. Score: 0.2

    Average score: 0.41. That's a big drop from last year. :( I will take a break from most of my goals for a while and come back once things are a bit more settled.
