Personal Goals Review 2022 #1

I’ve done this for a few years now. At the end of 2021, I set out some personal goals for 2022. It’s now time to review progress at Q1.

TL;DR: Slightly under on all fronts. Need to crank up the software.

>> Read 50 books. Slightly under target, 11 books read so far. This year I also added some sub-targets:

• Read three Victorian classics. Under target — no classics read so far.
• Read three books to educate myself more about race. Under target — none read so far, but have just ordered Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire by Akala.
• Finish the long-neglected Biography of Ceasar — no progress.

>> Summarise 100% of non-fiction books read. On target. Read and summarised 6 so far.

>> Cycle 4000 miles. A bit under target. 690 miles cycled so far. But not doing too bad given I only started cycling again in late Dec 2021 after having 6 months off due to broken collar bone.

>> Cycle a Gran Fondo each month. Slightly below target — 2 done so far, but feeling like a distance I can just about do comfortably again.

>> Write 10 Blog Articles. 3 done so far.

>> Get 2,500 Twitter Followers. 1954 currently. But still lagging well behind my colleagues Debbie and Simon.

>> Get to my target weight. Some progress towards target weight, slightly under trajectory.

>> Write weeknotes. No target (intentionally).

>> Write two “Thought” Pieces. No progress.

>> Write some software. No progress.
