Back to Basics
2010 was an interesting year. My girlfriend lived on the other side of the world. My company grew from one partner to twenty and began generating consistent revenue. I graduated from CAT5 to CAT4 in the bike racing realm.
Despite this productivity, the fact that I failed to set any personal goals at the beginning of 2010, after doing so in 2008 and 2009, speaks to my lack of motivation to grow from within. I didn’t demand more from myself, instead opting to run on cruise control.
That will not be so in 2011.
The List:
- Read at least 30 books
- Win a bike race as a CAT4
- Upgrade to a CAT3 bike racer
- Host at least 10 get-togethers
- Go camping at least twice
- Finish Pump as a native iOS app
- Re-design KarmCity.com
- Build a self-designed computer desk from reclaimed wood
- Collaborate with someone on a Web project
- Wake up no later than 7:30am every day
- Attend networking and community events whenever possible
- Keep in touch with my close friends more actively
