2020 didn't quite go according to plan, but it still had plenty of silver linings. I spent some time this week reflecting on the last 365 days and even though my 2020 resolutions were a bit unrealistic, I had a more productive year than I thought. �...

Reflecting on 2020 was eye-opening for me. While I never had a shortage of goals I wanted to accomplish, I struggled with organizing those goals into focused efforts. So this year I committed to a different approach, and created a 3-step process to keep myself on track for 2021.
I chose 3 areas of programming that I want to focus on and master.
With my priorities in mind, I established 5 measurable goals to keep me on track.
I divided my 2021 calendar into blocks—I chose two-month terms because that worked best with my university's schedule. I created milestones by dividing my goals into smaller tasks, then I assigned each milestone to a specific term.
Tip: Keep your workload in mind as you assign milestones. For example, my CS classes have an intense workload, so I know I won't have time to work on any other goals during Term 2.

I set a focus for 2021 to help me prioritize my time and structure my goals. I also created milestones to keep me motivated and I'm excited to see how this approach works IRL.
Have you set your goals yet? What will you be working on this year?
Let's make 2021 a good one! 🥂
