- Review your progress towards your goals, and if applicable, write down how your goals are changing or focusing.
- My goals are changing in the sense of making smaller goals, so as to reach them easier with my busy schedule. And then buildin upon that succeess.
- This week, track your steps toward each incremental goal you set for yourself. Have you completed your daily goals? Your weekly ones? If not, what stopped you? If so, how did it feel? Is it sustainable? Where will you concentrate your efforts this week?
- Progress: I was not able to complete any of my weekly/daily tasks since my last update. I am currently in the middle of moving and ramping up on a new client. So my extra free time has been dedicated to those two things. However, I believe I can plan around those things and fit some time in for achieving my goals. My goals are definitely achievable. It's just a matter of proper planning. This week, I will concentrate my efforts on ordering/reading Clojure Applied.
- What are some daily/weekly habits you can build (or reinforce) that will help you in achieving your goals? For this week, pick 1 daily habit that will help you make progress. Make it easy to accomplish, to help build confidence. Don't worry about this being an ambitious daily goal - it should not feel ambitious. Do this thing every day.
- My daily habit will be updating my tech cohort calendar and assuring that I am sticking to my schedule.
