Twenty-twenty
2019 was a year of tremendous personal growth for me. As I look back on 2019 and back further over the last decade, I’m amazed by the things I have accomplished, the people I’ve had the good fortune of meeting, and the experiences I’ve had.
Reflection
I’ve loved seeing decades in review on Twitter over the last few weeks, and I thought it would be great to write down some of my milestones as well before jumping into goals for 2020 and beyond.
- Graduated with my B.S. in Computer Information Technology
- Got my first programming job out of college
- Moved to Utah
- Worked for four different companies
- Bought and sold a townhouse
- Built my first home
- Finished the decade in better shape than I started in
- Travelled to three countries and twelve states
Amazingly, this list only scratches the surface, and I hope to have another great list to look back on in 2030.
Onward
In 2020, I hope to spend more time creating, more time learning, and less time consuming random internet content. Some other goals of mine for this year:
- Travel out of the country (I have Iceland, Italy, and Japan next on my list ā crossing one of those off this year would be great)
- Read 12 books
- Write 12 articles
- Continue my fitness journey (I’d like to write more about this, but in the second half of 2019 I focused more on my health and fitness and lost over 40 pounds)
- See more of our national parks (Yosemite is high on my list)
- Finish and ship a small iPhone app I’ve been building off and on for a few years
Here’s to a happy 2020! š
