2015: Resolving to Do More, and Less

Every year I publish my list of resolutions as well as a scorecard from the previous year. For 2015, I’ve redesign the site (well, I used HTML5 Boilerplate) and broke my resolutions down into 2 categories: “Do More” and “Do Less.”

In previous years, I’ve made a laundry list of  things I should do and I’ve had some success in sticking to them. I’ve always liked making a website because I feel a bit more accountable.

This year I decided to go a bit broader and place some milestones so I can track progress. I’ve also noted what days I’d like to set aside for certain activities, like reading and learning.

I’m hoping this different approach will help me stick better to the goals I’ve set out to accomplish in 2015. As the year goes on, I will actually add a nice little feature for me to check off and save progress right from the front end. That will also help with one of my “do more” goals 🙂 And since it’s a github repo, you can see the code here.

What are your resolutions for 2015? How do you keep track?

  • 2021: The Year of Opportunity

    One of my favorite things to do at the end of each year is plan my Yearly Theme. It’s becoming a bit of a tradition and I’ve even got my wife in on the action this year. I find it’s better to have a guiding set of principles than a number of promises I may or may not1 complete. 2020 caused many people to change how they do things, and I was no different. that’s why for 2021, my yearly theme is going to be The Year of Opportunity.

    When Is Switching Tools Worth It?

    I switch tools, perhaps too much. Over the summer, I switched from Dropbox to Google Drive because they told me the plan I’d been using for my business for a decade suddenly wasn’t for business anymore. I switched from Bonjoro to Senja recently because it cut several steps out of my workflow. And now I’m considering moving from Cal.com BACK to…

  • A Commitment to Committing

    If I can say one thing about working at Crowd Favorite, it’s that I’ve learned a lot about git and Github. From using the basic command line tools to working closely with submodules, I can say I understand git much more today than I did 3 months ago. Earlier this week, my friend Colin challenged me to 30…

    Asking, How Did You Build That?

    If you visit Florence, Italy, visiting the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, more commonly known as the Florence Cathedral or  Il Duomo, is a must. From its completion in 1436 until the advent of modern-era architecture, it was the biggest dome in the world. Even better, it’s completely self supported. All without the help of modern…
