2021 was a mess of a year especially in the second half. I still think I accomplished most of my basic goals.
I wanted to:
- Improve my programming skills learning TypeScript, GraphQL and Go
- Lift weights
- Improve my golf
In terms of my programming I've 100% improved. I feel much more comfortable in my day job. I can write competent Go and TypeScript and understand the fundamentals of GraphQL.
I've been to the gym consistently throughout the year. Even in the lock down months I continued a solid workout routine.
My golf is probably the main thing that hasn't improved a lot despite playing a fair bit from October to the end of the year. I need golf lessons to really take the next step.
This year I'd like to:
- Be promoted at work
- Buy a house
- Actually improve at golf
- Maintain my fitness
Being promoted at work is pretty self explanatory. I want to move from an SE1 to an SE2.
Buying a house is also a pretty simple goal with a lot of complexities in how to actually achieve it. I'm hoping to have something by July.
In terms of my golf, I want to be able to competently hit driver and the longer irons (5-7 iron). I want to able to hit those clubs straight and true.
Fitness wise I need to maintain. That might be through gym or by getting back into running. I'm also playing a bit of indoor soccer now as well.
